Honour killing is just the justification of people's Ignorance and frustration nothing else. sometimes its mob justice in the name of blasphemy, revenge, leaders worship and many more titles, ignorant and frustrated people need justification of their wrong actions and honour killing is just another such justification nothing to do with religion or culture.

Till when this honor killing will continue? Why don't these family members let their children live their own life. For God's sake please educate them and open their mind.

Another shameful act by a father and brother. Who gave them the right to kill two people. Why our society keep tolerating this kind of brutal killing. If and when they are caught they should be hanged without trail so other people can learn a lesson. Come on people this is 21st centruty speak up or tomorrow it could be someone from your family who is killed in the name of honour

There is no concept of honor killing in Islam. Love marriage is not prohibited in any religion.

Education of society and financial independence of women will help to save lives of women. For the present immediate deterrent punishment should be government.

Honour killing should stop. People should be given full right to chose their soul mates. Honor killers including their accomplice and abettors should get death penalties. What happened to QB's case? His brother is still behind bar with no trial and verdict. Despite his confession, he has not given death penalty yet. Our courts are damn slow in passing verdicts.
