Violence against women’s independence and liberty in all the aspects and especially in case of sexuality and marriage is considered one of the most widespread gender-based violence practiced against women in India. There is a need to create awareness about the pathetic conditions of women prevailing in India and regarding the crimes that women faces such as honour killing, which is against their dignity and respect. It has become necessary to address this widespread menace and aware women about their rights and privileges. Women are considered as the most suppressed part of the society as most of the crime scenes are practiced against women and this calls for an urgent need for the people of the society as well as the authorities to look into the matter and make women feel safe both outside and inside their home. This paper seeks to aim largely at the concept of the status of women in honour killing in India and the reasons behind it and what the present legal environment has to do with it.
