The parents of a 17-year-old girl are facing multiple charges over an incident that is being described as an attempted “honor killing.” In October, police said a 17-year-old girl was attacked outside of Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, according to KOMO-TV. Court records said the 17-year-old told authorities her father was threatening her with an “honor killing” because she refused to go to another country where a marriage had been arranged with an older man.

“Court records state Ihsan Ali was choking his 17-year-old daughter ‘to the point where she had lost consciousness’ as other students, including the girl’s boyfriend, tried to pull her away,” KOMO wrote.

Court documents claim that the girl’s mother, Zahraa Ali, attempted to choke the girl.
