Honor Killing and it's impact

0


Honour Killing has become a new matter of concern today where a man is killed for disobeying the racial and social custom. In north India honour killing is common news while other parts of independent India are not far away. Recently a mother had locked her daughter up for 5 days without food and water and threatened to kill her.

The guilty she did by marrying secretly a youth from a lower caste.

The girl, a Metro Rail employee, was rescued by police after her husband complained that his mother-in-law had been torturing his wife for over a week and was planning to kill her.

Police reach there and rescued the girl from the locked room. Her mother had also tried to end her life by slashing her wrist. She was discharged after first aid while her daughter had to remain in the hospital for few days.

In another incidence the family members of a girl allegedly killed her and her teenaged lover and hanged them as exhibits in their house for the village to see their "fate."

Both the girl and her lover were from Jat families but their relation was not accepted to the girl’s family. For that reason they brutally killed the girl and her lover in order to keep their heads up in the eye of society.

Is this a good step what the families have taken? If this type of customs reign then what would be upliftment of Indian society Indian culture and its education?
