Abstract
“Honor killings are the darkest manifestation of a society's fear of change and the loss of patriarchal control.” Indeed, such killings are not crimes of honor, rather crime of horror. Protecting honor can never be the justification of murdering someone. Its supporters try to justify as are the sole method to restore honor & reputation of the family. This argument is contradictory in itself as how could honor be restored when there will be stain of being murderer on the family following such killing? In fact, the hidden motive behind these killing is nothing but to establish dominance and suppressing the voice of anyone who tries to free oneself from such shackles of patriarchy and orthodox practices. There are various factors behind such killings which vary from region to region. These factors include social, educational, economic, cultural, regional, religious believes, patriarchal norms etc. In this chapter, factors behind honor killings in India vis-à-vis European countries, i.e., France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Russia and Sweden have been examined carefully.
