HONOUR KILLING IN SOUTH ASIA Humans being are indeed a worthy aspiration, but for the interrogation the context and structures, which hold its ideal is to be released are needed. An equal and hierarchical societal structure and process can never expect to produce and equal system and values .Once a person wants to clarify the realization the ultimate and obvious object comes before him/her to consider, which is reality of an overcharging 'subjectivity' that governs the material condition and the deadliness of living of the living social human being'. The human being its supposedly neutral character rather it is endowed with multilayered identities , being based on sex , occupation , ethnicity , religion , language, nationality, where the first possible 'add on' can be adorned consciously with a cognitive mapping emerging in once objective environment through question the entire notion of equality . Women not being a homogenous category, holding a different identity comparably to men through this context and structured. This identity boxes or being caged the women at a general level to an identity subsumed by the patriarchal structure determines the equableness and humanness of women. The modern world is divided into different continent, religion, cities and dominions and thus there exists a plethora of different culture and religion ,where the culture is the portrayal of a set of distinctive feature of society, which encompasses in lieu of art and literature , lifestyle ,ways of living together, values system traditions and beliefs [Hardy .M(2016) UNESCO universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity] and on the other hand the religion signifies "human beings" relation to that, which they regard as holy, sacred , spiritual or divine . Diverse gender construction are inherent in such culture and religion, yet there is a pattern of gender hierarchy that negatively intersects with women rights, culminating the oppression and violence against women, which get evidenced in the case of honor killing. Honor killing is a form of domestic violence, which can be orated as a homicide of a member of a family by other members of the family. As the perpetrator believed that , the victim deserve it, since the victim brought shame and dishonor to her family , through violating the principal of religion or by refusing to many or being in a religion or in a relationship that has disapproved by their family or by having sexual relationship without marriage or by becoming a victim of rape ,dressing in ways, which may defile the reputation of her family's honor and which against the norms of the society or by engaging in homosexual relations.(Elakkary.S, Franky. B, Shokri .D.Hartwing. S.Trokos.M,Puschel.K 2014,10-76-82). More precisely honor killing can be delineate as a practice ,which put certain women at personal risk from patriarchal ,cultural and religious belief system of honor and shame (Meetoo.V and H.S Mirza 2007.p188).
Honor killing are an extreme form of gender domestic violence, where its prime motive is the punishment or coercion of women, since it does not concern about the gender factor.
