Honor Killing of Muslim Women

awarding Killings of Muslim Wowork force Introduction Killings in the recognise of honor are undoubtedly a disaster, an unlawful act, a fright against humanity. mention Killings of Muslim wo manpower is an antique trend followed in Islam in which staminate members of family and social community deliberately kill wo men and girls of their family or ethnic musics as a provide of belief that they take for conducted any shameful act and destroy the reputation of family or tribe. Honor Killings in Muslims has been inherited from the ancient tribal days of 1200 BC when no major religion was came into being thus honor killing has no direct relation to Religion.The concept of Honor Killings has developed as a result of several attitudes in grow based on classes and background, and religious groups, where women is discovered as a property of men and possess no rights. The alleged degradation is closely based upon suspicions unaccompanied and these suspicious behaviors include u nacceptable style of dres breachg, willingly marrying anyone by possess choice particularly with someone who belongs to opposing community or tribe, conducting culpable sexual acts, or even engaging in homosexual acts.Statistics draw that about 20000 women become victim of honor killing every division particularly in Asia and Middle East (Fisk. R. , 2010, n. d. ). Honor Killing in the name of religion is the most hideous abominations and it is still occurring in most part of the worlds referable to perceived shameful acts in the eyes of men and such tragic events have very valuable lesson in it for the getd and mature plurality. DiscussionPakistan, the Islamic republic commonwealth, is deliberated as one of the most ill and dangerous country for women to live in beca give of growing rate of wickedness in form of honor killing and other related valiances. agree to a survey conducted in this regard, it was discovered that Pakistan was the fifth largest country in which wo men were killed for dowry and honor. Islam and law both prohibits in punishing victims unless there sin is proved and honor killings take bewilder on the basis of doubts and suspicions of men and groups.On the contrary Islam teaches to avoid punishment if there is a scope and does not consider pregnancy as an evidence of shameful sexual act. This is disastrous that such terrible acts are false fully supported by few Islamic scholars who tend to justify these activates with respect to Islam. For instance as per the saying of the Messenger of God in Islam that one should confront the crime with his own hands if he/she see it happening. These kinds of statements are misperceived by these scholars and accept a vital role in encouraging honor killings of Women.These scholars further the point of view of taking law into hands and treating women as an intent (Mufti. N. M. et al. , 2012, pp. 180-185). One of the popular examples set by the honor-killing victim named as Mukhtar Mai fro m Punjab, Pakistan, whose blood brother was claimed of raping a girl from upper caste family, thus, it was decided by the tribe to punish her bother in form of a revenge in which Mukhtar Mai was raped by a gang in battle array to punish the other party and then was forced to commit suicide, so that her family secure their pride and honor. provided Mukhtar Mai decided not to kill her self rather to promote against injustice. She belonged to a poor and illiterate culture, which was a real hindrance in her case and today she is running a school for women to educate them to bear witness voice against honor killings and injustice. She is a true figure for women in Pakistan who have been gang raped, spoiled faces with acid, and ripped nose as a result of Honor killings activities (Parker. H. , 2007, pp. 507-508).As per statistics, 300 women were found to be killed for honor in 1997 in Pakistan, 23 murders on average are done for stake of honor in Jordon every year, 36 honor crimes were occurred in Lebanon from 1996 to 1998 in small cities and villages, four hundred women were bump off in Yemen and 52 such crimes were reported in Egypt in 1997. Whereas, acid attacks increased from 47 to 200 in Bangladesh and 5000 women are murdered by their in laws per year in India as a result of Honor Killings.Honor Crimes are also witnessed in European and Western Countries Immigrants communities. Because many a(prenominal) women are unable to communicate to the state authority of the honor abuses due to linguistic issues. Such list of countries includes Germany, Sweden, Turkey, and UK. For instance, UK has witnessed 20 such deaths of women in the away five years due to honor crimes. India is a country which has sever traditions that are practiced even to date these include burning brides for pastime of dowry, acid attacks, rapes and gang rapes, sexual harassments, illing and raping young girls etc and these apply to both Muslim and Hindu women in their culture. No mat ter how modernize a women becomes, exactly such kind of norm against women hardly changes (Tripathi. A. & Yadav. S. , 2005, pp. 63-78). Lessons Learned It is understood that pot who indulge into Honor killings of Women and girls have emotional attachment with their views, belief, culture and religion. They consider such issues as a matter of pride and respect. In order to hinder such acts I believe one has to take earnest actions.According to my knowledge and understanding about the underlined topic, publishing and distributing actual Islamic sayings with references rear end reduce honor killings, more education should be given to muckle from all classes that marrying some one willingly is not a condition to kill anyone, print media and television should broadcasts open debates on these issues which are very much avoided as a taboo, I believe one can use the mosque (A religious place of worship for Muslims) as a platform to educate illiterate people and notify them that its a crime, governing itself should abide and initiate movements against such acts wherever honor killings are taken place in Muslim World. I believe it is everyones responsibility to stop this activity and nip the evil in the bud wherever witnessed for sake of saving humanity and womens rights (Mufti. N. M. et al. , 2012, pp. 180-185). I believe such victims in case of survival should be provided with psychological rehabilitation and mental support.Encouraging people who so ever witness these crimes to report immediately to the concerned authority. Government should provide financial aid to NGOs who are continuously working for this cause. twain boys and girls should be educated about equal human rights from the childhood (Tripathi. A. & Yadav. S. , 2005, pp. 63-78). culture Honor Killings of Muslim women in the name of religion is just a means of escape for men, communities, tribal groups who believe in their so called norms, culture, tradition and values. Such terrible acts occur in almost every country where Muslims with conservative thinking are residing and they believe that women are just n object whose activities may affect their reputation severely.These acts should be stopped by law and religious teachings. Concerned authorities should take serious actions against criminals convolute in honor killing and punish them strictly. Works Cited Fist. R. The Crime undulate that shames the world.
