Honor killings

Honor killings are very disturbing and sometimes just unacceptable cases, but in some countries there is no law. Honor killings are any type of murders, with very assaulting violence of a family member or even a friend, that has shown you a sign of dishonor. This occurs in many countries along with continents, most of the reported cases are in Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South Asia. The most eyewitness cases are, choosing to wear different clothes, engaging sexual acts, arguing and seeking a divorce. A civilian can murder someone without knowing any of the facts, or having any type of evidence. The estimated amount of people that die a year are over 5,000, and most of them could have been avoided by knowing and understanding all of the details and information. Honor suicides is a recent reported case that journalists and reporters have just found out, it has mainly occurred in Turkey up to now. Honor suicides are even more dramatic and disturbing than honor killings, it is a case where a man or woman pressures or forces someone else to commit suicide. This may be done so the victim can avoid penalties for murder, or escape some sort of shame, but no one knows. Over 80 Iraqi woman in Diyala were convinced and forced into honor suicides. As crazy or surprising this must be Europe has many reported cases of honor killings. In 2005 six Muslim women that immigrated to Berlin, were brutally murdered by family members and friends, one of the 6 Muslim woman was murdered by her brother for not staying with her husband that was forced into marriage. In the United Kingdom over a dozen people including men and women were killed by honor by family members and friends. South Asia is one of the worst reported continents for honor killings, UNICEF and many journalists have reported that in India, less than a year there were more than 5,000 reported cases for honor killings, most of these killings are 99.9% pointless. In South Asia honor killings are also referred as Karo Kari, (Pakistan, refers honor killings as Karo Kari) many attempts have been made into punishing the victims more strictly depending on each case. One reported case that is just terrifying, is when a 57 year old father-in-law murdered an 8 month old baby that was accused for carrying a child. An other case in South Asia was quite recently, 3, 17 year olds were buried alive and brutally injured because they refused an arranged marriage. Honor killings is not a law, and is legal in some countries but I don’t think this should be, it is 100% unreasonable and unnecessary. There is already enough killings, and murders in the world for pointless reasons. Someone that is currently in power should do something about this, because cases that have been reported in some newspapers are just repulsive, even some tourists or people that have come on holiday can be involved in this, and if nothing does happen this could be a big issue in the future.
