It’s not a murder but an evil practice in the recent society.HONOUR KILLING means “crime for honour”,it seems relevant that we are committing crime to protect our honour .But can anyone receive honour after committing murder?
It sounds ridiculous ,though there are people in the society who are committing murder for the sake of being honoured and they are being honoured in jail.
If we look into various reports,we find that love marriage is the most common cause for honour killing. In the Gita, the lord has stressed the need of purity of soul and not purity of clan. Rukmini, princes of Vidharbha, wanted to marry Krishna. But when her marriage was fixed with another prince, she called Krishna for help. Krishana eloped with Rukmini to honour a woman’s right to choose her life partner.I believe this is what happening in recent cases.
I donot feel that implementing severe law would eradicate such evil practices.Once again we need great reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy,Ishwarchand Vidyasagar,Dayanand Saraswati,Swami Vivekanand and other great luminaries to fight with such evil practices.We know reforms will not be overnight,we need firm resolute,patience and all-round sustained effort from every individual of our society.
