Law Against Honor Killing Soon?

Home minister of India , Mr Chidambaram in question hours session said that honor killing soon would be put into different category of crimes.

Honor Killing is one of worst form of crimes which are committed in India , every year where families or panchayats murder couple or rape women in name of justice!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of social evils which can shame even the most backward countries of the world but it still prevails in name of age old system/parampara/culture

Some of the cases are as mentioned below:

1) A couple belonging to same gothra marry. Panchayat declares marriage illegal . To save their lives couple run away from the village.

Months later family of girl , emotionally persuade her to come to meet them. She falls into the trap and go to her family. She goes missing. The husband feared that she has been killed and files police complain. Police along with husband enters the village , where villagers attack the man and kills him. Even police men get injured in the incident.

2) A Muslim woman marries Hindu man in kashmir. Both of them are murdered by woman’s family in name of honor.

3) Nineteen-year-old Poonam was thrown into a canal by her Jat relatives in January this year, for marrying a Dalit boy.Poonam was rescued though.

The above mentioned are few of cases which happen in India. In name of honor the very family turns worst form of enemies. Slaughtering their own kins, even raping girls .

This needs to be dealt as separate issue rather than including in category of murders and rapes.

We welcome home minister’s statement in loksabha today.
