		Conceptions of honour vary widely between cultures; in some cultures, honour killings of (mostly female) members of one's own family are considered justified if they have "defiled the family's honour" by marrying against one's wishes, or even by being the victims of rape.
		These honour killings are generally seen in the West as a way of men using the culture of honour to control female sexuality [1], although men are as often the victim of "honour killings" as women.

		To state that the majority of honour killings take place in the Islamic world is an unfortunate statement of fact; to imply that they are sanctioned or approved by Islam is very questionable, and to our belief, only the perpetrators themselves attempt to make such a suggestion, not the British media.
		Secondly, the authors wish to suggest that ‘honour killing’ is not a broad cultural phenomenon, that it is as culturally unacceptable amongst ‘mainstream’ Kurds as spousal murder is amongst Europeans.
		‘Honour’ killings, on the other hand, are never individually committed but decided and planned in cold blood by the victim’s family, clan or tribe, who decide the victim’s fate and select her murderer from her relatives.
