Honour killing: Couple declared karo kari gunned down

[Parul]

SUKKUR: Four armed men gunned down a couple on Thursday morning after the two were declared karo and kari in Trighati village of Sukkur, within the jurisdiction of Salehpat police station.

Mohammad Ali Katpar and his wife, Gul Taj, were sleeping in their house, when unidentified armed assailants broke into the house and killed the two. The assailants then escaped from the scene.
It has been reported that Muhamamd Ali, son of Muhammad Ishaq Katpar, and Gul Taj, daughter of Abdul Ghani Brohi, residents of Sheroja Pathan village, after developing an understanding registered their marriage in Sukkur court.

This free-will marriage sparked enmity between two clans in the Brohi tribe, who reportedly called for the couple’s killings and declared them karo and kari. The couple went into a hiding but had recently surfaced again.


The police shifted the bodies to a Rohri hospital for autopsy and then handed them over to their relatives.

The police have arrested two suspects but have declined to declare their arrest.
Police constable Veenjhar Khan confirmed the incident and said that nobody showed up to lodge an FIR. A case has yet to be registered.

Honor killing involves killing their own people because they have not obeyed the wishes of family, it may be male or female.

But in the issue discussed in the other thread, people killed the girl , protecting their boy.so this incident is a different thing.

An honor killing, or honour killing[1] is the homicide of a member of a family or social group by other members, due to the belief of the perpetrators that the victim has brought dishonor upon the family or community.
The perceived dishonor is normally the result of one of the following behaviors, or the suspicion of such behaviors: dressing in a manner unacceptable to the family or community, wanting to terminate or prevent an arranged marriage or desiring to marry by own choice, especially if to a member of a social group deemed inappropriate, engaging in heterosexual acts outside marriage and engaging in homosexual acts. Honor killings have been labeled as a form of gender apartheid.[
The United Nations estimate for the number of honor killings in the world is 5000 per year. Many women's groups in the Middle East and Southwest Asia suspect that more than 20,000 women are honor killed in the world each year.

In India also these incidents are rampant.

Not people in that thread the father of the Indian boy set the girl on fire because the his boy was in love with that girl which was from the other community hence wish if his son to marry her was about to put his honor to shame.

Yes I agree , but in this case it was done by Panchayat not for family honor.

The girls family asked for marriage and the panchayat said no.., when the family is in the process of complaining to police they killed the girl.
