In my opinion, it treads very close to, if not over, the edge of the well-settled principle that "the Court may not resolve disputes arising from an illegal act". The parties to the underlying agreement have decided that civil and contract law, and U. S. and state public policy, shall not govern here. This renders any US court an improper forum to resolve the instant complaint. Is this not an open door to "honor killings", in which the argument can and will be made that the devout religious convictions of the victim made her death not only known and subscribed to by her, but immune to argument except Shari'a law? An impossible exaggeration? Only if you believe that there is a limit to immorality below which an attorney will not plunge in defense of his income. This is very, very bad precedent.
