Retrospective

Generally speaking the idea of a woman/girl being decapitated who has had battered wife syndrome has generally been an extremely taboo topic on Western culture from 1800 onwards.

Imagine for example, if at first you were a friend of said girl/woman, and you felt betrayed by the fact that she murdered someone. Then you break all ties knowing a guilty person was beheaded.

Along with the fact that life persists after decapitation something unique even from long drop hanging, although still unjustifiable even if death were instantaneous base on concepts of guilt and culpability, would you really be able to live with yourself from the idea of abandoning your friend because you made the wrong assumption about someone and left them to die?

This is why historically crimes that resulted in execution have historically resulted in execution being a state secret. It wasn't until later the idea of transparency about topics started becoming more common in the West.

It still persists in parts of Asia like China however.

Note that all future novels I write with be based on later criminal cases, and this was an experiment in writing Historical Futuristic Romance.

Thanks for reading.

And yes just because someone is horny for decapitated women's heads, doesn't necessarily mean they advocate the practice.
