Honour killing is a kind of violence against women. Honour crimes is committed by male family members such as father or brother ( age is not important for killing). If female break the family rules, she will a victim of murder and anybody do not prevent this crime. Therefore, honour killing is an important issue in Turkey. Every year a vast number of women are killed by thier own father, brother or any other male family member. Many women who live in Turkey especially in rural areas, they are still exposed to violence because of the moral rules because men believe that honour killing preserve their honour. Moral rules may be basic elements of the honour killings but also there are many reasons about honour killing such as culture, tradition, gender, society or religion have an inevitable affects on honour crimes. Women must obey the moral rules, family rules or religious rules for living. I made some reasearch so ı will add more and interesting examples about honour crimes in my research paper. why turkish men commit a violence or what is the reason of the honour killings. if we are really think about these questions and try to find a solutions. May be population welfare increase and commit a crime rate begin to decrease. Also, men may accept the equality of men and women in society.
