Honor-motivated murder of a young girl in Khuzestan
In recent days, a young girl in Khuzestan was murdered by her family members in an honor killing. Three days after the incident, the accused surrendered to the police, and the case was taken to the judicial process due to the lack of complaints from the parents due to the public nature of the crime.
According to HRANA news agency, citing Rokna, in recent days, a young girl in Khuzestan was murdered by her family members.
According to this report, a few days ago, the body of a young girl in Khuzestan who had been murdered with a firearm was discovered in a Pride car, but the parents did not file a complaint in this regard.
According to the report, police investigations showed that the young girl was murdered by her family members in an honor killing, and then the perpetrators fled.
Three days after the incident, the defendants surrendered to the police and the case was considered a criminal offense under the general aspect of the criminal process.
Honor crimes or honor killings refer to the violence and often murder of women in a family by their male relatives.
These women are punished for “disgracing the honor of their family.” This dishonor can include a variety of things, including refusing to marry, being the victim of rape, being divorced (even from an unworthy husband), having sex with the opposite sex, or committing adultery. For someone to be a victim of honor crimes, it is enough to be perceived as having brought dishonor upon the family.
Iranian law includes provisions to exempt individuals who commit "honor killings" from severe punishment.
