per wikipedia convention

per wikipedia MOS spelling should be based on how the word is used in the country. Considering this is not an american phenemenon "Honour" should be the title, with a redirect from "honor"

Agree with suggestion to move to "Honour killing" for reason noted above.Parkwells (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Like the article states, honour killings were believed to be rare to non-existent in South India. But recently there have been quite a few murders of this kind in Tamilnadu, that was reported on TV. Fathers have killed their own daughters. Fie on our society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.172.87.175 (talk) 18:31, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honor Killing in Europe Tag

Why not? It would be notable. If someone has more information on it and is willing to split the article, it would be fine.

it would be helpful know how differently the police authorities take the report of a threatened honour killing. Do the police in Sweden go about dealing with such a threat diffently than in the UK for example? Until not so long ago, the UK police did not want to interfer as they regarded this as 'domestic violence'!

I think it should be noted that in Italy penalty reductions for honour killings were abolished only in 1981, and were quite common until fifty years ago (especially in the south), but in "Honor Killing in Europe" are only mentioned crimes committed by immigrants. even if Italy is an ecception i think deserves to me mentioned, unless this article only deals with recent times. sorry for my bad english. --Rambaldo (talk) 07:45, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the horrific and disgusting so-called "honour killings" that happen in the UK periodically, I notice...I suppose it's "racist" to mention them, since they seem to happen exclusively within the Pakistani Muslim community......we can't have people of a certain race villified on the basis of mere "guilt" or "culpability" after all...

Honor Killing in the Middle East would be another worthwhile article. --Airborne84 (talk) 20:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose merging Karo-kari into Honor killing. It appears to have developed in parallel, rather than being the result of a consensus to split; it's not really very wikified; it appears to be the only country besides the United States with a separate article, and I think the USA is a slightly different case; and I think what useful information (statistics and law stuff) is there should be in the main article.

As a side note, if the merge proposal fails, I recommend renaming karo-kari to "honor killing in Pakistan" and suggest that some of the editors from this page take a look at it.

South America

What happened to the section on South America? Why has this turned into a Muslim country only article when it didn't used to be? Baalthazaq (talk) 07:00, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
