Honor Killing

According to Webster's dictionary, honor killing is a "traditional way of killing families that some countries think shameful for their family." Even in modern society, honor killings are taking place all over the world. The society that is still participating in the murder of honor is the United Kingdom. According to Newsweek 's article, my father killed a 15 - year - old daughter. It is said that she began to date her secret boyfriend After the family found it, the family council determined that death is the best option.

Why is there no public sorrow? Many in Pakistan believe honor killing is a controversial topic, and the media generally ignores this. The basic premise is that such homicides are of the family and should not be suspected or suspected. Even newspapers reporting honor killings often add reasons to articles because "this girl was killed to leave the house", "she fell in love" or "I want to divorce." Of course, honor killing is not a problem peculiar to Pakistan. According to the network of honorary violence consciousness, UNFPA reported 5,000 honor killings worldwide in 2000, but this is only an estimate and is likely to be underestimated

It is difficult to determine the incidence of honor killings, and the estimate is very different. In most countries, data on honor killings are not systematically collected, many of which have been reported as family suicide or accident and are registered here. Honor killings usually occur in the Asian continent, especially in the Middle East and South Asia, but they spread all over the world. In 2000, the United Nations estimates that 5,000 women each year were a victim of honor killings. According to the BBC, "Women advocacy groups doubt that more than 20,000 women are being killed every year in the world." The only form of honor crime is not murder. At least 2,823 such crimes were recorded

Honor killings are usually associated with adultery claims. Honor killings continue in several parts of the world, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East (but not limited to them). In some legal systems, it is generous to deal with honor killings. Shooting incidents also occurred in Europe, Canada, and the immigrant community in the United States. In some parts of the world, honor killings are receiving strong support. In one survey, 33.4% of the young people of Jordanian capital, Amman, were admitted to honor killings. In a study at Diyarbakir in Turkey, when asked about appropriate penalties for adultery women, 37% say that she should be killed, while 21% should have her nose and ears killed I answered, I cut it off
