Honour killing means the issue of killings of couples who marry within the same sub-caste or against the wishes of their parents. Immediate attention needs to be paid in this area which is one of the neglected areas. Law needs to be used as a weapon in bringing about a social change. What is needed is a firm decision by the government for a separate law. There is paucity of research studies in this area. The networking of the police, judiciary, government, non-governmental organizations, human rights activists, sociologists, social workers, and psychologists is to be done in order to mitigate this social evil. Honour killing cannot be accepted in the name of culture or tradition. Honour killing is unjust and inhumane action. It is crime against mankind. The murderer of that type deserves severe punishment. Hence it is needless to say that lot of efforts need to be made in order to mitigate this problem lest the problem goes out of control.
