The concept of "honor" has been ingrained in the minds of people in many Asian countries for centuries. In countries like Pakistan, fathers murder their daughters and their wives in cold blood if a slightest suspicion develops in their minds on their having an affair with someone. The practice known as "karo-kari" is rampant in one province of that country. The killing is done to protect the "honor" of the family or the clan. The government and NGO's are working hard to stamp out this practice but it will take years with people getting education, for it to die out. Having said that, in such a situation as this one any father would have jumped into the ocean to save his daughter even if he did know swimming. The natural link between the two are so strong especially between fathers and daughters. Since he did not and neither did he allow for anyone to rescue her, he deserves to weep the rest of his life from the pain of the loss due to his "closed mind." I am sure the wife will also taunt him and torture him over his stupidity for the rest of his life.
