Honour crimes are NOT an Eastern or Muslim problem, they are a *universal* problem, as they involve misogynist males, and misogynist males exist ALL over the world. They take place when the woman they are meant to take care of and honour – whether she be a wife/partner, sister or daughter – does/intends to do something that they do not like (such as marry a man of her choice, seek separation from them, and so on). The man in this instance, feels betrayed and dishonoured, and thereby retaliates, by harming the woman. In the law of Islām, the Shari`āh, the perpetrators of vigilantism and so called honour killings are subject to the same punishment murderers and others who violate the law of God & His Prophetﷺ are subject to. In the words of Sayyidina `Umar Radi Allāhu `Anhu, all honour is through Allāh, by following His laws and commands, an dishonour is through transgression and disobedience of Him, Exalted be He.
