This paper interrogates Jordan's socio-political positioning of honour to grasp how societal meanings about honour killings are constructed in Jordanian society, which is both complex and grounded in traditional values. Most existing research on honour crimes in Jordan indicates that little is known or understood about the link between Jordanian law, honour crimes and the way Jordanian citizens understand these crimes. This paper closely examines the factors that can explain the incidence, causes and continuation of honour killings in Jordan to better develop opportunities for policy and legislation that can reduce these crimes. It exposes the country's gender inequality, and the notable gap between its social and legal codes when it comes to the punishment of honour crimes. It also offers insight into the correlation between society and culture and the incidence of crimes committed in the name of honour in Jordan and the Middle East. The research is based on a close examination of court cases from 1993‒2010.

The Indian constitution forbids untouchability and caste or religious discrimination. Caste, on the other hand, is extremely important among Indians. India's social system is ruled by the Hindu caste system. Even though we live in the twenty-first century, we continue to use the caste system. Each caste had its own set of rituals, customs and values. As a result of increased education, employment, urban growth, modernization and technological innovation, inter-caste marriages have gradually gained widespread acceptance in India. According to the 2011 census, 5.8% of the population throughout India, inter-caste marriages account for one-quarter of all marriages. For many years, however, Indians might have a conservative attitude towards inter-caste marriages. 'Upper castes' have viciously maintained the generational purity of blood by imposing endogamy and denying upper caste women the agency to marry outside their own castes. People are culturally conformist, so when their daughters or sons marry outside their culture, religion or language, it can lead to honour-related violence or honour killing. A total of 145 honour killing incidents occurred in India between 2017 and 2019 (Government tells in Lok Sabha in 2021). Furthermore, the majority of honour killings are misidentified as suicides.

Human minds have always been captured by traditionally dominant civilizations to think and act within cultural boundaries. Although the world is progressing, society is reverting to a more conventional worldview. It has stifled reasonable thought while encouraging violent behaviours, all of which constitute a breach of humanity. The International Forum, as well as Islamic law, has always been supportive of others' rights, particularly women's rights, which are protected by laws, conventions, and treaties. Few societies have been unaware of women's dignity. The subject of honour killing in India is addressed in this study paper. The historical technique of research was employed in this study as part of qualitative research methodology. The information is gathered from reliable sources such as the literature and prior studies. Women are susceptible to violence not only in India, but also around the world, as a result of poor governance, a lack of execution of suitable laws, and societal and cultural hurdles. People's attachment to traditional and cultural norms has resulted in a rise in violence against women. Honor killings are on the rise as a result of ignorance. Despite the fact that women in India are empowered, their status is not fully functional. The findings point to the need for stringent legislation to prevent honour killings. To remove ignorance from society, societal awareness is critical. Women should be given the tools they need to take such matters seriously and fight for their rights.

Honour killing persists around the Middle East, where regimes refrain from tackling primitive traditions for fear of sparking unrest. Ayse Onal interviewed imprisoned men in Turkey convicted of killing their mothers, sisters, and daughters. The result is a revealing and ultimately tragic account of ruined lives - both the victims' and the killers' - in a country where state and religion conspire to hush up the killing of hundreds of women every year. 'Ayse Onal has done an immense service by revealing what it is like to live in an honour-based society and the terrible cost, not just to the wom
