Thread: Honor killings in India

its just the detrimental mentality of some people which drives them to do such acts. no civilized society would support honor killings, for it is very heinous act in itself. i dont find any honor where a person is killed without his or her fault to the extent that he or she deserves a death penalty. most of times the honor killing case is because of run away marriages or love marriages. i think police department must take people into custody who pose such a threat to the target.

It is indeed a detrimental mentality of the community people and its taking height in indian community especially the hariyana side and rural areas. People are more concerned about their reputation then the life of tehir loved ones. Honor killing should be banned by the government as it is the main evil taht is increasing day by day in rural areas and people who have orthodox mentality.

it is sad to know that we still have honor killings rampant in our developed nation. we cannot call ourselves civilized or developed if such activities are rampant. government and non government authorities should take a strong stand against such activities and make strong laws to prevent the same.

honor killing is the sick thinking that gives way to killing one self and people who assaulted the honor of a few conservative people in the community. It is the disease of those few conservative minds that cannot see the happiness and find reasons to kill their girl or a boy.honor killing is done mostly in rigid places and areas such as karal, hariyaa, rajashthan and all rural places where the thinking of old people is conservative and they cannot see any harm done to their reputation in the community.

Honor Killings: Many parts in northern India, being a bigoted society and intolerant to any violation of their rigid decorum code, reports cases of honor killing, for punishing anyone who tends to spoil their family reputation. These killings are practiced in Haryana, Punjab, western UP and even sanctioned socially by the caste panchayats.

Killing in the name of bringing dishonor to the family or society as a whole is an act of shame. The law of the nation do not permit any one to kill their fellow beings. Govenment should take steps and make stern laws so that people cannot dare to carry out such a disgraceful act. Media should be equally vigilant and the police should take necessary action against such acts.
