This research investigates the complex motivations driving honour killings, a tragic form of gender-based violence. Through empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, it uncovers the roles of family honour, patriarchal control, gender inequality, societal pressures, religion, and power dynamics. Understanding these factors is crucial for informing policy interventions and community initiatives aimed at combating such violence and promoting gender equality.
