Women hold posters as they protest in support of Amina Filali who committed suicide last week in front the Moroccan parliament in Rabat, Morocco, Saturday, March 17, 2012. Amina Filali took her own life by taking rat poison after being forced to marry the man who allegedly raped her at age 15, and then abused her in marriage. In Morocco, as in many Middle East societies, a rapist can escape prosecution if he marries his victim, thereby restoring the honor of his victim and her family, but in the case of Amina Filali, it seems she could not live with her restored honor. The legal system in Morocco supports this honor tradition but activists are pressing for change. Placard reads "Law killed me". (AP Photo/Abdeljalil Bounhar)
