3. What kind of behaviours did Banaz’s parents believe brought shame on the family? (All of these must be considered in your answer: Leaving her spouse, having a boyfriend of her own choice, kissing in a public place.)What are some of the beliefs that can lead to faith based abuse?
Consider the following:

-Belief in evil spirits: Belief in evil spirits that can ‘possess’ children is often accompanied by a belief that a possessed child can ‘infect’ others with the condition. This could be through contact with shared food, or simply being in the presence of the child.

-Scapegoating: A child could be singled out as the cause of misfortune within the home, such as financial difficulties, divorce, infidelity, illness or death.

-Bad Behaviour: Sometimes bad or abnormal behaviour is attributed to spiritual forces. Examples include a child being disobedient, rebellious, and overly independent, wetting the bed, having nightmares or falling ill.

-Physical differences: A child could be singled out for having a physical difference or disability. Documented cases include children with learning disabilities, mental health issues, epilepsy, autism, stammers and deafness. (Required.)
