The Dark Side of Honor Killings: Cases that Shocked India
Honor killings remain one of the most disturbing forms of violence in India, highlighting the clash between age-old traditions and modern legal and moral standards. Rooted in rigid concepts of family honor, caste, and patriarchy, these heinous acts often target young couples who defy social norms, such as inter-caste or inter-religious relationships. What makes honor killings even more tragic is the involvement of the victims' own families, driven by the belief that they are restoring honor through violence.In most cases, the victim is a woman, although in several cases the man/boy is also targeted. The victims in some cases are also those belonging to the queer (LGBTQ+) community.
Several cases of honour killings from India’s urban and rural pockets go unreported. The National Crimes Record Bureau’s report for 2020 revealed that 25 cases of “honour killing” were reported in the preceding year. In the previous years, the reports stated that only one incident each took place in 2018 and 2017. But Evidence, an NGO, revealed in November 2019 that as many as 195 known cases of honour killings were reported from Tamil Nadu alone in the past five years.
India has witnessed several brutal cases that shook the nation’s conscience, raising awareness of the deep-seated cultural norms that perpetuate this violence. [1]
5 Recent Brutal Murders: A Closer Look
1. The Keelvenmani Murders (2021)
In another heart-wrenching case from Tamil Nadu, a Dalit boy, Nirmal Kumar, and his lover, Subhashree, from the dominant Vanniyar caste, were brutally murdered by Subhashree’s family for eloping. The couple, aged just 21 and 20, had sought refuge from Subhashree's relatives who opposed their relationship due to the caste divide. Despite fleeing for safety, they were tracked down and killed in cold blood.This modern-day horror reignited debates about casteism in India, as Subhashree's family faced no remorse for taking the lives of their own kin and her partner. The media coverage and outrage that followed demonstrated how honor killings transcend mere family dynamics and are deeply rooted in India's hierarchical social structure. [6]
2. Afsana Case (2020)
Afsana’s case was yet another painful example of how interfaith relationships can become lethal in India. Afsana, a young Muslim woman from Uttar Pradesh, fell in love with a Hindu man, which led to escalating tensions within her conservative family. Afsana’s family disapproved of the relationship, fearing that it would bring shame to their community.In a brutal turn of events, Afsana was strangled to death by her own father and brothers to preserve the family's so-called honor.Afsana’s murder was one among several interfaith love stories in India that faced a similar fate, amplifying the communal tensions surrounding interreligious marriages. Her death not only reflected the patriarchal control over women’s bodies and choices but also pointed to the growing religious intolerance in the country.[5]
3. Ilavarasan-Divya Case (2013)
The tragic love story of Ilavarasan and Divya from Tamil Nadu exposed how caste continues to dictate relationships and, in extreme cases, lead to honor-based violence. Ilavarasan, a Dalit man, married Divya, a woman from a higher Vanniyar caste, defying the rigid caste system in rural Tamil Nadu. Divya's family and her community could not tolerate their marriage, and her father was accused of driving her to leave Ilavarasan after intense pressure.Soon after, Ilavarasan was found dead near railway tracks, in what many believe to be a planned murder disguised as a suicide. The case caused widespread protests across Tamil Nadu, exposing the caste-based discrimination that still plagues rural India. Ilavarasan’s death was a grim reminder of how deep-rooted prejudices continue to determine the fate of young couples in love, often ending in tragedy. [4]
4. Manoj-Babli Case (2007)
The infamous Manoj-Babli case from Haryana became a turning point in India's fight against honor killings. Manoj and Babli, who belonged to the same "gotra" (clan), defied societal norms by eloping and marrying. Their marriage enraged Babli’s family and village elders, who deemed their union incestuous, even though it was legal by Indian law. The Khap Panchayat, a local caste council, ordered their murder, and the couple was abducted, tortured, and killed by Babli's relatives.This case was significant as it led to the conviction of several members of the Panchayat, as well as Babli’s family, making it the first time an Indian court had handed down such a severe punishment for an honor killing. The case exposed the authority of Khaps in rural India, which often override state laws, and underscored the urgent need for legal reform to protect young couples. [3]
5. Nitish Katara Murder Case (2002)
Another chilling case is that of Nitish Katara, a young businessman who was brutally murdered by Vikas Yadav, the son of a prominent politician, because he was in love with Vikas’ sister, Bharti Yadav. The Yadav family, a powerful political dynasty, opposed the relationship as they felt Nitish did not belong to their caste or social class. Nitish was abducted, beaten, and burnt to death in a gruesome crime that shocked the country.The long legal battle for justice was a testimony to how honor killings are often connected to the powerful political class, where perpetrators use their influence to evade justice. The Katara family fought relentlessly, and in 2016, Vikas Yadav was sentenced to life imprisonment, marking a major victory against entrenched social inequalities and caste hierarchies. [2]
Laws to Deal with ‘HONOUR KILLING’
In India, honor killings are not governed by a specific law but are prosecuted under general criminal laws, particularly those dealing with murder, homicide, and violence. However, there have been legal measures, court rulings, and proposed bills to address the unique nature of such crimes. Below is an overview of the legal framework and key court interventions in dealing with honor killings:
1. Indian Penal Code (IPC)
Honor killings are generally prosecuted under the following sections of the IPC, which deal with murder and other violent crimes:
Section 302 (Murder): Punishes the crime of murder with life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Section 307 (Attempt to Murder): Applies to cases where the victim survives the attack.
Section 120B (Criminal Conspiracy): Used when multiple people are involved in planning and executing the killing, such as family members or community leaders.
Section 34 (Acts Done by Several Persons in Furtherance of Common Intention): Often used when several people collectively carry out the crime.
Section 364 (Kidnapping or Abduction in Order to Murder): Applied when the victim is kidnapped before being murdered.
Section 376 (Rape): In some cases, sexual assault is also part of the violence related to honor crimes.
2. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005
While not specifically designed for honor killings, this act provides civil remedies for women facing violence or abuse, including threats of harm related to "family honor." In cases where women are threatened with honor-based violence by their families, they can seek protection under this law.
3. The Indian Constitution
Article 21 (Right to Life): The Supreme Court of India has held that honor killings violate the fundamental right to life and personal liberty enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution.
Article 14 (Right to Equality): Honor killings, often motivated by caste or gender-based discrimination, are seen as violations of this article, which guarantees equality before the law.
Article 15 (Prohibition of Discrimination on Grounds of Religion, Race, Caste, etc.): In cases where caste or religious differences motivate honor killings, Article 15 is cited.
4. Key Court Judgments
The Supreme Court of India has played a crucial role in addressing honor killings through its judgments, recognizing them as a serious violation of fundamental rights.
Shakti Vahini vs. Union of India (2018): In this landmark judgment, the Supreme Court strongly condemned honor killings and directed state governments to take preventive, remedial, and punitive measures. The court issued guidelines aimed at curbing the influence of Khap Panchayats (traditional caste councils) that often sanction such killings.
Arumugam Servai vs. State of Tamil Nadu (2011): The Supreme Court declared that any person or organization supporting or encouraging honor killings would be subjected to harsh penalties, including the death penalty in certain cases.
5. Proposed Legislation: Prevention of Crimes in the Name of 'Honor' and Tradition Bill, 2010
This proposed bill, introduced in the Rajya Sabha in 2010, sought to address honor killings specifically. Although the bill has not yet become law, it aimed to:
Criminalize the intimidation or harassment of couples who marry against societal or familial norms.
Penalize acts of violence, harassment, or coercion by family members or caste councils (Khap Panchayats).
Impose stricter penalties, including imprisonment and fines, for those found guilty of such crimes.
Criminalize the act of forcing a person into marriage to restore "family honor."
The bill has not been passed, and honor killings continue to be prosecuted under existing criminal laws.
6. Law Commission of India (2012) Recommendations
The Law Commission of India, in its 242nd Report, recommended a specific legal framework to deal with honor crimes. The report called for:
The introduction of a new Section 300A in the IPC to criminalize honor-based crimes.
Recognizing crimes committed in the name of honor as a distinct offense, with special provisions for harsher punishment.
Creating a legal mechanism to tackle the involvement of village or caste panchayats in sanctioning honor killings.
7. Preventive Measures
Police Protection: Courts can direct the police to provide protection to couples who fear for their lives due to the threat of honor killings.
District Magistrate’s Role: The Supreme Court has directed district magistrates to take preventive measures, such as keeping a watch on areas where such crimes are prevalent, and ensuring that couples who marry out of choice are protected. [7]
8. Death Penalty for Honor Killings
While Indian law does not provide a specific provision for the death penalty in honor killing cases, courts have imposed the death sentence in some cases under the "rarest of the rare" doctrine. This doctrine allows for the death penalty in cases where the crime is deemed exceptionally brutal or heinous, as in many honor killing cases.
Honor Killings: The Larger Picture
The common thread in these cases is the deep-seated social structure in India that prioritizes family honor, caste purity, and community approval over individual freedoms and personal choices. Honor killings often occur in rural areas but are not limited to them. The influence of caste-based councils, or Khaps, is still strong in many parts of the country, where they wield unofficial but significant authority, often leading to such heinous crimes.
The Legal Struggle
Despite the growing awareness around honor killings, India does not have a specific law addressing this form of violence. Such killings are prosecuted under general murder laws, but activists argue that these laws fail to address the cultural and social factors that fuel such crimes. Several attempts have been made to pass a comprehensive law targeting honor-based violence, but progress has been slow.
Conclusion
Honor killings reflect the darkest aspects of India’s social fabric, where archaic traditions collide with modern values of personal freedom and choice. The cases of Manoj-Babli, Nitish Katara, Ilavarasan-Divya, and others serve as tragic reminders of the lives lost to this outdated concept of family and social honor. As India continues to evolve, the need for legal reforms, societal education, and support systems for young couples becomes ever more critical to prevent such atrocities in the future. Although India does not have a dedicated law for honor killings, the existing legal framework provides several avenues to prosecute and punish offenders. The judiciary has been proactive in addressing the issue through landmark judgments, while civil society continues to push for specific legislation that acknowledges the unique social and cultural dimensions of honor crimes. Until a comprehensive legal framework is enacted, honor killings will continue to be prosecuted under general criminal laws, and the battle against these brutal practices will rely heavily on enforcement, awareness, and education.

I know why everyone’s mad at Aziraphale- we’ve all known those “I’ll pray for you” assholes
But Azzi is every abused kid who thinks maybe if he’s nice enough, smart enough, obedient enough, good enough, maybe his abusive ultra religious conservative family will finally relent and accept him and the person he loves. He can change the family for the better with his goodness and even protect his jilted lover (and while the queer allegory is obvious, super conservative families also don’t like interracial relationships or interfaith relationships, so those could work. I think a lot of white queers forget that it was in our parents’ lifetimes that it became legal to be with someone of a different race and that’s still being threatened to be changed).
Crowley is every abused kid who knows better. You can’t change the abusers by being good enough for them. You leave and never look back.
I can’t hate Azzi for his choice. Who among us wanted to pick up and walk away from everything we’ve ever known? We did it because we had to.

In Sufi teaching the highest spiritual state is fana, the annihilation of the separate self in the fire of Divine Love, so that lover and Beloved become One Love.... May we let ourselves down into the arms of fire and allow it to melt the armor of our hearts. The excruciating fire of our loneliness and our fear of intimacy. The sweet fire of our longing for union with the Beloved. The purifying fire of radical unknowingness, which all the great mystics assure us is the beginning of knowing God.
—Mirabai Starr from the essay "Lighting the Darkness" on THE INTERFAITH OBSERVER

Hanan Turk and Hani Salama in The Other (Youssef Chahine, 1999)
Cast: Hanan Turk, Hani Salama, Nabil Ebeid, Mahmoud Hebeida, Lebleba, Hassan Abdel Hamid, Ezzat Abu Ouf, Amr Saad, Ahmad Wafiq, Edward Said, Hamdine Sabahi, Tamer Samir. Screenplay: Youssef Chahine, Khaled Youssef. Cinematography: Mohsen Nasr. Production design: Hamed Hemdan. Film editing: Rashida Abdel Salam. Music: Yehia El Mougy.
Youssef Chahine's The Other is a mess of a movie, but in a way the mess is its message. It begins with a symbol of unity: the United Nations building, where Adam (Hani Salama), a UCLA graduate student working on a thesis about religious terrorism, meets with a friend to prepare for their interview with Edward Said, the celebrated Palestinian-American literature professor at Columbia. During the interview, Said reiterates his concern about the way contemporary civilization is torn by disunity, by the tendency to treat one's opponents as "the other" instead of recognizing their common humanity. And so Chahine introduces his theme, which amounts to an exploration of such immense topics as global capitalism, cultural appropriation, and terrorism. Chahine tries to develop his theme through a love story: Adam falls in love at first sight of the pretty Hanane (Hanan Turk) waiting in an airport. She's a journalist out to interview a man who wants to build an interfaith retreat on his land in the Egyptian desert. Adam is on his way to visit his parents in Egypt, who just happen to be backing the project. So he facilitates the interview and wins Hanane's heart. Unfortunately, Adam's cynical and corrupt parents are only looking to make money off the project, acquiring the land and then selling it to a hotel company. Margaret, Adam's mother (Nabil Ebeid), is an American who married a wealthy Egyptian, Khalil (Mahmoud Hebeida), for his money. Her real -- and creepy -- love is for her handsome son, and naturally she is appalled when he marries Hanane, who comes from a lower class family. The complications ensuing from this familiar star-crossed lovers trope are perhaps enough for a romantic drama, but not to develop Chahine's larger theme, especially since he underscores the love story with a kind of "Ballad of Adam and Hanane" sung off-screen during key moments in their relationship. There's also an extended scene of dancing and singing at their wedding, partly to emphasize Margaret's distaste for the whole thing. And when Margaret causes a break between the couple, it stirs Adam, whom we have seen as smart and affectionate, to violence: He strikes Hanane and rapes her. The scene feels inconsistent with the characters, especially when Hanane, whom we have seen as tough and independent, forgives him. In short, The Other provides an object lesson on the danger of overreaching.

in our interfaith outreach and education group, one of the poems read over and over again was "Come, Come, Whoever You Are" by Jalal al-Din Rumi.
Our instructors, counselors, elders and peers were Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, and Jewish, and from multifaith families, and atheists, and agnostics, and questioning; and some of us were even Pagan, though at the time that number amounted to me and two Wiccans from Philadelphia who would later take me to see their garden. that poem was read to us regardless of faith-or-lack-thereof, as the phrase went: Rumi was a Sufi mystic, but the words of hope and forgiveness, both human and divine, were the kind of words that reached across all sorts of borders. at the time it was borders of community, culture, and faith-or-lack-thereof; as I write this, it is now borders of years and distance.
I was never told the translator, and I have yet to find a reliable source on the translation itself. but here is the poem as I learned it:
Come, Come, Whoever You Are Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times Come, yet again, come, come.

The Bid
Part 1: The Pure One
1982, Boston, Massachusetts:
Eurydice Sideris:
They dolled me up, made sure they covered up the bruises, put me in a skimpy dress and drugged me. They made sure to accentuate my scent too. How? Well that was a mystery, but I’m far from home. I could barely remember what or where home was but I remember the sea. The melodies that the waves made as they crashed onto the shore. During all of this chaos, I held onto the sea, and the one born from the ocean foam. That Aphrodite herself had kept me hanging on, kept me safe, at least safer than the others.
My feet were unsteady in these high heels. They dragged me up when I stumbled and hit me more, only in places that weren’t visible. Out of my entire faith, the soulmates legend is the one thing I didn't believe in. At least until I was face to face with an Alpha, the one I was staring at now. He looked like he lived life on the edge. He didn’t belong there, at least not next to the other Alpha who looked like they were acquaintances.
He was striking and even more so his scent. When the aroma flew through my lungs, it felt like freedom. What a strange thing to feel. Freedom had been taken from me for so long and now it was gawking at me, drinking me in with hungry blue eyes. It was then that I realized Aphrodite had answered my prayers. She was somewhere there in this Alpha’s eyes. That unmistakable color of the sea and the voracious and primal yearning.
All this time, just when I began to lose faith, to crumble. This tiny silent moment had tears dampening your eyes. I knew and he knew at that moment the two had found the other half. The millennia of wandering the Earth generation after generation, searching for my half was finally complete. How cruel though to be dragged through the mud to get to you, my Alpha.
“Starting price is 10.” yelled out one man. Ten dollars!? What am I? Chopped liver? I didn’t spend five years in the shithole to get sold for 2 Abraham Lincoln's. The Alpha turned to his friend, confused. I caught more of his scent just then. Noticing how his aroma deepened, taking note of the dry wine. His nicely dressed friend chuckled at whatever conversation they were having. Your Alphas eyes widened and he chewed on the inside of his cheek, contemplating. The price must have been much higher than I initially thought.
“30!” yelled a man from the back. The gavel rose slightly, waiting for its sentence. Once its sharp cry would ring out, I’d be officially sold. Please, please, Aphrodite! Let me be with my true love.
“50!” said another Alpha. I closed my eyes. I couldn’t watch.
“100!” said a closer voice.
“200!” said the last voice, desperation seeping from his lips.
“200, that’s 200. Anyone else for a higher wage? 200. Going once. 200. Going twice, that’s 200 folks! Sold! To the Alpha standing in the middle row.” The auctioneer announced. My lips trembled with fear. The gavel struck, its sharp sound ringing in your ear. One tear fell, ruining the make up they had hastily thrown on.
I opened my eyes slowly to see him. The one meant for you. The soul Zeus himself had separated my own from all those years ago. He was panting, like he was unsure the outcome had really happened. It happened so fast like instinct had taken over.
A different Alpha took my arm, gripping it tight, being sure to dig his nails into my tender flesh. The man set me down in the seat next to the stranger who’d just bought me. The stranger took notice of this and gave him a look and a growl that could have killed. He paid no more attention to the worthless piece of shit than was necessary.
He unbuttoned his denim shirt and took it off, draping it over my shoulders, filled with goosebumps. He was wearing another shirt under it, he wasn’t naked, but just from the look of him, I wanted to invest in that endeavor.
“I’m Ari. You’re safe now, Omega.” he whispered in my ear as he clothed me. His breath was warm and melted the cold air stinging my skin. He held out his hand, resting it on the arm of the seat. I took it, feeling its strong muscles underneath and the calloused skin on its surface. I almost forgot to breathe. Leaning in, locks of my long brunette hair falling into my face.
“It’s Eurydice. Unless you’d like me to call you Alpha instead of Ari.” I had to test the waters, throw in a curve ball of my own. Something to let him know I meant business. My own name was so foreign falling off my rose tinted lips. Those fuckers made me forget who I was. Given me a number instead, stamped it high on my neck. It was another form of humiliation. A tactic to degrade me to dehumanize me. If anyone would claim me, they’d see the mark. Number 394. They covered it up of course. Can’t have imperfections on Selling Night during halftime at the football game. It was an odd place to be sold in the first place but for the mob it was perfect. It was all done in the VIP rooms, where it was less conspicuous and ‘Megas like me could be bought at a pretty penny. It happened once every three months.
Most Omegas didn’t make it this far in five years. Some of them died after three. I honestly don’t know how I got to this point, but I felt something close to happiness at that moment.
He smirked. “Eurydice is a beautiful name.” His voice was sweet molasses to my ears. At first I didn't feel comfortable resting my head on his shoulder. But with the high from whatever drug they gave me wearing off, I didn’t care about much else other than sleep.
I hesitantly set my head down. His shoulder is firm with muscle yet so comforting, so right. Ari gripped my hand back, his thumb nonchalantly stroking my skin. I sighed, content and whiplashed from the events of today. I’ve been on edge for the past five years. I never knew I needed this kind of sleep. One where I didn't have to worry about a rut-crazed Alpha having their way with me in the middle of the night. This was the first day of the rest of my life. As with the Phoenix, I felt like I'd risen from ashes.
End part 1.- part 2 to be written soon.
