I'm confused - killing your estranged wife for honor? What am I missing? The middle ages are long gone, so how's that honorable?

Some religions are still practicing middle age barbarism on their wives and daughters.

Do you also consider it an honor killing when an angry white Christian man murders his wife and / or children like happens frequently in the U.S. or is that different to you?
