📖 READ:
Honour killing is the murder of a person accused of "bringing shame" upon their family.
Victims have been killed for refusing to enter a marriage, committing adultery or being in a relationship that displeased their relatives.
In many instances, the crimes are committed by family members against a female relative.
It happens worldwide, from South America to Asia. More cases have reached the UK courts in recent years but a number of crimes still remain unresolved or undetected.
In some parts of the world, women who have been raped have also been murdered for the 'dishonour' of being a victim and the 'disgrace' it brings to their family.
Honour killing is believed to have originated from tribal customs where an allegation against a woman can be enough to defile a family's reputation - 'a life without honour is not worth living.'
