Wow finally I get to create a sensible post...lol without any craziness or bashing involved!
Anyways, honour killing is usually associated with religion...I think it's because people think this sort of really prominent in Sikh and Muslim communities...I know for a fact that whenever a girl from either of those communities is murdered...it is proclaimed as honour killing or rather religious honour killing.
But I want to argue that it is not religion that is to be blamed...but the society itself...I am sure that Channi wasn't killed because she was from a particular relgious community but rather she had dishonoured her community/society.
It is a very real part of South Asian countries and even communities abroad....even in Canada...girls are murdered just because they have dishonoured their family...they are either killed here or taken back home...
My question is...why is honour killing still practiced...is it really just a religious thing or rather part of the old age societal thinking?
