ABSTRACT

The issue of Honour Killing has been following humans like a shadow and has been haunting their lives constantly.  Every citizen of this country has to be responsible and aware of his own rights. No person should try to infringe the right of another person. A man or a woman has a right to live a life of their choice with liberty and dignity. No person should try to have a control on the other person’s decisions or actions. Killing a human being might be for family honour or any other reason is wrong. So, the more people become aware of such a crime and understand how wrong it is to take a person’s life for reasons like family honour and prestige the more they will be able to sympathise, empathise and as fellow citizens become responsible and fight for those facing such problems. So, this study will be useful for the people and the society at large. So, the researcher took up this topic to understand the crime and the points which trigger a person’s mind to commit the crime and to understand and analyse how morally and ethically the act is wrong. This research would also help the Judiciary to improve the law and bring necessary changes in the legal system to abolish such a crime. It would help the researcher understand the real problem ans estimate the mindset of a particular person or community committing the crime.
