Honor Killings

For thousands of years, women have been despised by society and are not treated equally. Until a while ago, American women were unable to do work or vote, and men were always leaders. Tonight, my father says what kind of punishment he will receive during his or her growth if you talk to your father or husband, it is only about 30 or 40 years ago is. I think that today's American women are free of course. In some cultures, women are not yet considered equal and privileged.

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

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

A passionate crime in Latin America is also regarded as an honor killer. Like honor killings, passion crimes usually involve the murder of a woman by her husband, family, or boyfriend, crime often being forgiven or sanctioned. For example, in Peru, 70% of female murders have been committed by a husband, boyfriend, or lover in one year and in most cases suspicion of slander or infidelity is cited as the cause of homicide. Uruguayan law continues to accept passionate crimes caused by adultery. However, "passionate crime may seem to be somewhat planned, but when men kill women relatives in a superficial way to protect honor, honor killings are usually planned carefully Planned action. "
