It's hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that's exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone's honor by doing bad things to them and it's not really a fault thing, it's more about protecting honor and it's preservation a virtue.

This is how honor killings work, it's part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.

There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.
