The United Arab Emirates have began to get rid of some Islamic laws within their state, one of which allowed family members to kill women that belong to that family. These killings were committed when a woman brought dishonor upon her family. The main reasoning was sex outside of marriage, but it did not have to be proven, just accused. Now there are stricter sentences for those who commit these murders as a way for the UAE to show that they care to protect women's rights and human rights in general. This new law is being put into place after a deal between the UAE and Israel was brokered by the US.
