jainism, hinduism and christianity... what do they say about honour crimes...?

what do these religions teach about hon our killing?

Assuming the "...." means your asking about all religions....

Judaism would call it murder & horrible.


A basic concept of Judaism is a court of law, be it Jewish or the country's you live in. Any capital punishment would be doled out after a very fair trial for a limited specific actions that warrant it, such as murder or rape. 2000 years ago during the Sanhedrin days, the requirements for witnessing of a crime were so high it was almost never (if ever) done. The current country of Israel run by secular (non-Jewish specific) law has put to death only one person, the infamous Nazi Eichmann (who killed so many Jews horribly without regret - & for which they were many witnesses.)


Honor is not considered a focus in Judaism. Morality is. If someone violates morality standards, individual responsibility is key in Judaism. Only you are responsible for your actions. So a family members actions doesn't reduce your honor (in any formal way). So killing them would just compound the wrongs committed.

Instead Judaism would reach out to the family to help them integrate back into society & figure out what went wrong & how to help. The society would get introspective & try to figure out collectively what they could do better in the future. You can see this all the time as the reaction to everything done by someone Jewish, that isn't okay. Next thing you know, collectively we are talking about if we let someone get too isolated, or didn't emphasize some peaceful teaching enough...

Add: Even culturally, without Judaism's approval, I have never heard of this ever within Jewish communities...going way back.

Eye for an eye...

There is no honor in killing...especially not for killing a person you're related to.

People who support that are disgusting. They view women as possessions and commodities and the real reason behind it is that they're angry because they feel that the value of their "merchandise" has been compromised. There is no honor.

To answer your question, as religion founded on non-violence towards all living things, Jainism totally rejects any such notion as a justified killing. Honor killings among Hindus are known, typically in retaliation for relationships outside of an individuals own caste, and mostly in rural, very traditional locations, but there is no widespread approval for these acts. Honor killings in some primarily Christian societies are known, typically involving men who murder their wives because of accusations of adultery, but there is no religious approval or justification for these acts.

There is no hon our in crimes. What you describe is murder. You neglected to mention the ideology that supports the murder of family members...Islam.
