I would think it would depend from country to country. Some countries if a girl is raped her family decideds what the punishment is for the rapist and can even kill him themselves if they wish.
I don't think the victim would be stoned to death by the state but it could be more of an honor killing situation where the family feels they have had dishonor brought to their family name (stupid) so they kill their daughter.
It all stems from ignorance IMO. Honor killings can happen in any religeon and are more of a cultural issue than religeous.
