Even in the 21st century, we come across honour killings, especially in the northern parts of Indian and in few parts of South India. Shockingly, the honour killings are not common in our neighbouring country Pakistan. UN estimates that more than 700 people lose their life because of honour killing annually in Pakistan. One such incident traumatized the humanity.
A marriage proposal was on the cards between Nazreem, from Nahi Vahi village in Pakistan and her relative Shahid, who is also from the same village. Both the families have agreed to the marriage, and marriage was hardly a few days away.
During this time, Nazreem and Shahid met each other and were having a conversation on a secluded place on the outskirts of the village. Nazreem’s maternal uncle who saw the couple raged with anger and shot them with the rifle. The couple lost their lives, and the man was arrested.
During the interrogation, the man confessed that he killed them because it was against their practices and termed it as an honour killing. In another incident, a brother killed his sister, because she married someone else against their family’s wish.
