Meer over het boek

Focusing on the complex issue of honor killings in Indian and Jordanian societies, the book challenges the simplistic attribution of these crimes solely to Islam, emphasizing the need for a broader socio-cultural and legal analysis. It highlights the intersection of various identities that contribute to these acts and critiques the narrow interpretations that demonize religions. Additionally, the book conducts a comparative study of legal frameworks in India and Jordan regarding honor crimes, while also calling attention to the overlooked male victims of such violence.
