Sam's questions

The interesting questions of Sam are discussed at length in our book, In the Name of Love. Here I can merely briefly refer to them.
(1) Concerning the possible instantaneous nature of the murder, in our study only one out of the 18 cases can be described in this manner. The emotional nature of the murder does not contradict its deliberative and purposeful nature
(2) We agree that the wife murder can be described as a process, but this does not mean that we are speaking of a process of violence which is culminating in the murder.
(3) Other studies, which have been done in USA, Europe, and Australia, indicate that a significant number of murders were committed, as indeed we have found, on the background of the wife intention to leave the man. We do not think that our findings are limited to a specific culture
