United Kingdom: Think ‘Honour’ Killings Don’t Happen In The UK? Think Again
Debrief – September 18, 2016
While tabloids would have you believe that honour killings have long been associated with Islam, the practice has also occurred in Sikh, Hindu and Christian communities as well. That’s not to say mainstream religions justify honour killings though. Despite the fact that this is ultimately a cultural as opposed to a religious issue religion has become synonymous with honour killings: the supposed shame which causes an act of violence to be carried out in the name of a long-held notion of ‘honour’ is seen to come about when traditional cultural beliefs are not conformed to, wearing ‘western clothes’ or dating someone from a different culture can increase a woman’s risk of honour-based violence.
