                                            Honour Killing – A Social Evil
By :Vidya ,Xii-A

Honour Killing, now popularly and ironically called by media as Horror killing is a social evil that has existed is our society for a very long time. It might have emerged with the onset of civilization. The root cause of this social evil lies in exercise of parental authority, over their children as their matter of right. Especially in the patriarchal societies, the thinking that whatever parents think is right; that children can’t take good decisions for their life partners, their future or career goals. Majority of Indian parents don’t trust  their children when it comes to decide their life partner or career. Even if society had not been divided along the lives of caste and creed, problems would have persisted in other forms. But the evil of Honour killing began to raise its ugliest head when structure of society became more and more complex. It is more frequently found in rural areas where the light of education is yet to reach.

These things are very shocking in context of Honour killing. First of that the perpetrators do not regret after killing their daughters, sisters and their boy friends. Rather than the killings are glorified.Secondly, ways of killing are very heinous and brutal going beyond the limits of humanity. For example– In Delhi the couple was electrocuted after being closed and tied in an iron box.

Third, thing is that not only older generation i.e., parents but the youths who are expected to bring out the social change and revolution in society are also killing their sisters, cousins in the name of family honours.

Whatever the reason and whoever is the perpetrator, Honour Killing is totally wrong and a punishable crime. It is against the pattern of society and civilization. Each older generation must give way to the forthcoming generation the freedom to take their decisions about their life priorities. We must have trust in our children and respect their decisions. Even it is not right, no law allows us to kill our children. The practice of Honour killing must be stopped immediately and all legal agencies. Govt. NGOs, Social activists should come forward to rescue of the young boys or girls who have decided their life partners on their own.
