According to the interpretations of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the Halacha (Jewish law) convicted of certain sexual misconduct of men and women, the death penalty (by stoning) approved by a court.

According to the report of the Special Rapporteur at the 58th Meeting of the provided UN Commission on Human Rights (2002) on cultural practices in the family, violence against women reflect:

The Special Rapporteur, it would be in the conflicting decisions with regard to the defense of honor in Brazil, as well as laws allow a partial or complete defense in this context, the Criminal Code of Argentina, Bangladesh, Egypt to be found, Ecuador, Guatemala, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Peru, Syria, Turkey, Venezuela and the Palestinian Authority.

Turkey. recently, Turkey has amended its legislation on honor killings. Anyone convicted of this crime are sentenced to prison for life

In two Latin American countries. Similar laws have been broken off in the last two decades: according to human rights lawyer Julie Mertus in Brazil to 1991 killings were seen as women’s “honor killings” is not criminal, killed in a single year, nearly eight hundred husbands their wives, in Columbia. to 1980 a husband could legally kill his wife for adultery “

country where the crimes of honor is not legal, but is often ignored in practice, including

Pakistan. Honor killings are known as Karo Kari (Urdu: AAA E | AE ?????????????). The practice is to be charged under ordinary murder, but in practice police and prosecutors often ignore them often. A man must simply claim the killing was for his honor and will be published. Nilofer Bakhtiar, adviser to Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said that in 2003 no less than 1, 261 women were murdered in honor killings. 8. December 2004 under international pressure and domestic Pakistan has a law that made honor killings in the future a prison sentence of seven years or the death penalty the most extreme cases. The women’s rights organizations were, however, be careful that Act as to prohibit the practice of so-killers buy their freedom by paying compensation to the family of the victim stops. Groups of women rights, argued that in most cases, the immediate family of the victim, the killers, so inherently the new law is just a sham. He was not amended provisions of the accused was pardoned by the victim’s family under the so-called Islamic provisions to negotiate. In March 2005 the Pakistani government allied with Islamists to a bill that strengthen the rule of law against targets reject the practice of “honor killing”. The Parliament rejected the bill by majority vote, saying it is anti-Islamic

incident in Pakistan: -. Ghazala was appointed by his brother Joharabad, Punjab, 6 Burned in January 1999. According to reports, she was murdered because her family suspected she had an “illicit” relations with a neighbor. His body was burned and naked, will lay unattended on the street for two hours, wanted to do something no one with him. Ghazala was burned to death in the name of honor. Hundreds of other women and girls suffer the same fate each year under the support of the public in general and little or no action by the authorities. In fact, there is every sign that the number of honor killings, the perception is of what the honor – and what damage it – expanded, and as more murders take on the appearance of honor killings in the correct assumption that they are rarely punished .

â? Honor killings “, which widely used in some economically advanced countries, is an example. Perpetrated under the guise of saving the” honor “of the community, caste or family, there are such incidents often that governments are not states willing to take action. The acts of violence include public lynching of couples, killing the man or the woman concerned, as a murder suicide, appear public beatings, humiliation, blackening the face and forced the couple or their families to feces or urine drinking, forced incarceration and social boycott. was collecting fines

largest number of cases included eating in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh -. Most incidents reported to the convention took place in these three states, one reason for the increased visibility of these crimes is the tendency for more Girls Besides working for the schools, meetings of different castes and communities and build relationships beyond the boundaries of caste and community. These people, boys and girls are the target, so that no one dares to breach the barriers of caste and communities. Significantly, in the most cases is to support economically and socially dominant castes, organize and promote such acts of retribution.

Muzaffarnagar district in western Uttar Pradesh, at least 13 honor killings occurred within nine months in 2003 . In 2002, reported over 10 murders, 35 pairs were missing. It was considered that, Haryana and Punjab alone 10 percent of honor killings in the country. It is not surprising that none of these categories of crime in government records is available. In fact, it is the rejection of this phenomenon is also confirmed. Data for such incidents are extremely rare, and they are usually classified under the category of general crimes. In addition, most of these cases are not reported and even if presented, informative reports often only [2] are not classified and no autopsies performed.

caste panchayats have come to have to play an increasingly important role in Haryana and elsewhere, including in situations where political patronage is also available. central theme of honor and violence is the subordinate position of girls and women in all castes and communities. chastity Woman is the “honor” of the community and she has no claim to sovereignty over her body at every point in his life. The punishment is swift and brutal, especially when the barriers of caste and class crosses choose a man of lower caste than their partners
