Volume : III, Issue : V, June - 2013 HONOUR-BASED VIOLENCE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO 'KHAP PANCHAYAT' IN HARYANA AND THE INDIAN PANEL CODE PREETI MALIK Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Honour killingis an age old social evil that has become a wide-spread
phenomenon that got attention of public, media, and various agencies over the world in
last two decades. Honour killing is a practice that has also put certain women “at
personal risk from Patriarchal, cultural and religious belief systems of 'honour and
shame'”.1 The term honour killing is defined as the “premeditated murder of women by
one or more male members of the immediate or extended family”. The driving force
behind honour killings is family honour; effectively, in certain cultures, violence
committed against a woman is justified on the condition that the woman has brought
dishonour to her family. These killings are qualitatively different from other kinds of
murders. In a strong patriarchal society the word honour is not measured with the
worthiness of a man, but rather the honour lies in the women under the control of a man.
Such a moral code defines honour in terms of women's assigned sexual and familial roles
as dictated by traditional family ideologies. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : PREETI MALIK, (2013).
