PREFACE

The present project Honour Killing: Socio Legal Prespective gives careful and
accurate treatment to the various topics discussed under it. The authorities, both
Indian and foreign, that have been relied upon and used as a source material, have
been referred to and acknowledged in footnotes.

I have studied several works and then stated the principles related to Honour KIlling
with care and understanding in simple, accurate language.

I express my grateful thanks to my mentors Dr. Shivani Goswami for her valuable
suggestions and contributions in incorporating some of very important points.

I sincerely hope that this project would be found very useful.
