Abstract

The research was carried out using a detailed study of the case, content evaluation techniques, and an observational-analytical framework. According to the report, honor-based crime arises when parents are intolerant of their daughters' premarital relationships and marital choices, particularly when these decisions involve marriages between different castes or religions. The study also notes that a significant proportion of killings based on honor are carried out as crimes of passion sparked by unexpected incitement when the girls' families discover the couples in precarious conditions. It has been observed that the traditional beliefs of a culture dominated by males prevent girls from forming connections before marriage or from selecting the men they wish to wed. Honor killings are a common practice with social and cultural context legality due to the society's support and poor enforcement of the law. Thus, despite enacting strict rules and harsh penalties to address the issue, The chapter will deal with the above problems with special reference to Haryana, India.
