Though the life sentence in Germany is only 15 years, meaning this murderer will be out of prison by the time he's 40, it's an improvement over the 9 year sentence given to the last person accused of "honor" murder.
A German court on Friday convicted a 25-year-old man of murder and sentenced him to life in prison for the honor killing of his sister.
A state court found Ali Karabey, a German citizen of Turkish origin, guilty of shooting his 20-year-old sister, Gonul, to death in the western city of Wiesbaden in June 2005 to prevent her from marrying her German boyfriend.
The verdict comes amid a growing discussion in Germany about how to better integrate immigrants, especially Muslims, into German society and ensure that they respect its laws. The nation was rocked last year by a flurry of similar honor killings that added to the urgency of the debate.
According to the court, Karabey tracked down his victim to a garden shed belonging to her boyfriend's family after she ran away from home.
The court said his sister agreed to meet him after he assured her that he meant her no harm and told her boyfriend that he would help arrange their marriage.
It said Karabey fired at her repeatedly after persuading the boyfriend to leave them alone in the hut.
Defense lawyers had argued for a manslaughter conviction, contending that Karabey, a German citizen of Turkish origin, shot his sister in the heat of the moment during a row that had nothing to do with her marriage plans.
Under German law, convicts serving life sentences can be released after 15 years.
It was unclear if Karabey would appeal the verdict.

its funny that wen the kaffr white german bloke tried to marry and have sex with the turks sister instead of shooting the german guy in the head he shakes his hand and asks him politely to wait outside as he kills his sister. A normal person kills the guy whos trying to f**** his sister not the other way around its pathetic.
masbout the kafer guy is the offender who is harming the girl and her family so it is him that should get executed this will stop the perpatraiter from marrying and taking away their daughter, will prevent him from offending again and will set an example to others to stay away from her or other muslim sisters that is true honour and qualities of a strong family. These are stupid arabs that follow customs before Islam which degrades women and considers their lives worthless. If they go against Islam and El-Shariah then they cannot kid themselves and call themselves Muslims. Our sisters are very High and Precious in Islam and are loved and cherished by Real Muslim Males they are to be protected like a Precious Pearl but seems like these so call arabs or pakis are no better then the Westerners and value women lower then dirt.
The girl felt safer with her German boyfriend than with her own family -- and, she was right: it was her brother that killed her.
"they are to be protected like a Precious Pearl"
There's the problem. In the radicalized Islamic world, women are considered possessions, not people. That's why slavery is allowed by Islamic Law -- people, especially women, are considered possessions under sharia.
You hate Arabs and Pakis, obviously, as well as Westerners: "arabs or pakis are no better then the Westerners and value women lower then dirt."
The truth is you are too full of hatred to treat anyone else like a person -- not Arabs, not Pakis, not Westerners; not even your own sister, who is a possession to be jealously guarded.
If you are going to hate them, at least know who it is that you are hating: a Turk is not an Arab.
