domestic and

factors in common;

and domestic
violence resources
may not be
adequate to address
the needs of
potential victims of
honour-motivated
violence.

CONCLUSI
ON
The first misconception about honor killing is that this is a practice that is limited to the
rural areas.
The second misconception regarding honor killing is that it has religious roots. Even if a
woman commits adultery, there have to be four male witnesses with good behavior and
reputation to validate the charge.
What can we do to prevent such a thing
from happening?
Firstly, the mentality of the
people has to change. Secondly,
we need to have stricter laws to
tackle these kinds of killings as
this is a crime which cannot be
pardoned because Humans do
not have the right to write down
death sentencesspeaking,
Psychologically of innocent

parentshumans.
unconsciously abuse
their wards to take revenge for
the abuse they had themselves
suffered at their own parents'
hands
Are people who kill their sons and
daughters in name of caste any
better than terrorists who kill people
in the name of religion?
