Abstract
Crimes that occur within the socio-cultural sphere are rarely recognised as crimes. Being accepted as “natural” and “tradition”, they receive both passive sanctity as well as active support. This in-depth far-reaching volume includes sections on: Structures, Codes and Women’s Agency; Patriarchal codes of honour; Ideologies of Honour; Defiance of Honour Codes; On Crimes of “Honour” and Impunity; Women’s Rights and Citizenship; Addressing Violence in the Name of Honour; Domestic Violence in South Asia; Forced Marriage; and provides a wealth of reference material.
