Nowadays, we are getting the news that some spouses or any women get murdered by the family members, and the reason was that the girls were refusing to their families order or she disobeyed them.
She must have disobeyed or refused to marry the person she doesn’t know, or she has made any other relationship with someone else, or she has become any victim of a rape case, sometimes there’s the reason of having sex outside of the caste. This killing by the family is nothing but the HONOR KILLING.
Reason for Killing:
Honor killing is made by their family member. Honor killing is also referred to as shame killing because their family member believes that the girl is a shame for them and she can give disrespect by the society. The girl has dishonored the whole family, and she is doing what she seems right and what is happy and appropriate for her.
Nowadays we are modern we are accepting the modern culture, but there’s too much problem for the girls and the women who do not wear the clothes and they are a shame for the family, they get harassed by them, and sometimes that is the reason of Shame killing.
Accidental area:
In a location like a village area, there is the HONOR KILLING case are increasing, in that when the case is investigated than its concluded that the reason was, the family member wanted to do the arrange marriage, but the girls want to marry with their own.

In the cities, it also that the cases are due to rape also.

In that there were the 40% such cases in which the parents of the girls have registered the rape case against the man who was the lover of the girl, this is because they wanted to avoid their relationship and because of this, they ruined the life of girls and boys both.
Before 1950 there were the rules of SATI PRATHA in that women get burnt alive with the dead body of their Husbands, but after that, this was stopped by the Government, but for today’s HONOR KILLING there is no specific law made by Government. In the case of HONOR KILLING, we must have take any step to stop this because our Government has given us some Fundamental Rights, and according to that, we have the right to marry anyone whom we want with the heart of the front ones.
Today government has passed the rules that anyone can make other relationships besides marriage. There is some Law that prevents Honor Killing that is Article 14 Article15(1) (Restriction of discrimination by religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth), Article 15(3), Article 19 (freedom of Speech), Article 21 and Article 39(f). These law gives the right to children to grow with care and safe and with equality manner. We should prevent this law and make aware of it to everyone.
