Honor killing is murder of a family member, usually woman or girl, by relatives who believe she has brought “shame” or “dishonor” to the family. This perceived dishonor can arise from refusing an arranged marriage, seeking a divorce, having a relationship disapproved by the family, or even being a victim of sexual assault.
