What is honor killing?
Honor killing is a type of murder where the motive of the crime is rooted mainly in protecting the honor of the victim’s family. Historically victims of honor killing are primarily women; especially in MENA (Middle East and North Africa) regions. Honor killing also occurs in parts of South Asia (primarily India, and Pakistan) and occasionally in the west in countries such as Greece and Italy (Doğan, 2011, p.423).
