Sumario: | "Beyond Honour" addresses the issue of honour related violence by using Marx's Historical Materialist approach. This study is a blend of academic research and personal experiences. It is an attempt to look beyond the cultural notion of honour as the main/only motive behind gender-based violence by examining related issues through historical academic research along with the simple narration of present day stories of victims around the globe. Honour/passion related violence: locating the kinds and contexts -- Honour, passion and violence: redefining terms, actors and mechanism -- Construction of female sexuality: religious roots -- Challenge of sexual transgression: ancient and modern legal responses -- Pakistan scenario: who suffers? -- Economics determine boundaries -- Love transgresses boundaries -- Society guards boundaries -- Legal system favours perpetrators of violence -- Politics respond to vested interests -- Is there hope for tomorrow? |
