[QUOTE="rajneesh madhok, post: 129022, member: 10692"] Honourable Narayanjot Kaurji, Whenever I come across the news of Honour killing, I read the news with a very heavy heart and question to myself why the honour killing in northern India don’t stop. The question is when family members murder another family member on the point that it has brought disgrace and shame on the family. The reason of murder is being disclosed that due to inappropriate relationship or marriage outside caste or religion. The other point is that the marriages are being held in all over India and why only four states are affected with this menace of Honour killing. What it indicates---extremities of life in India. With the extremities it has taken in to clutches from rich to poor and from cities to villages. When we are calling that India is progressing at a rapid rate, and so love marriages are becoming more and more prevalent. The main point of murder that I could understand is the Caste System---which remains as strong as ever, and the reputation of the caste is of utmost importance---[B]But whether the importance of caste is more important than a human life. [/B] [B] [/B] [B]In recent honour killing of Metro city DELHI. The parents who murdered their 19 year old daughter and her 19 year old fiancé said THAT THEY HAD BEEN LEFT NO ALTERNATIVE. THEIR DAUGHTER’S DEED FRUSTRATED THEM, AND THEY DIN’T REGRET KILLING THE COUPLE. [/B] [B] [/B] I, have to endure a lot of criticism and loss of respect in the family for allowing my brother-in-law’s marriage to go ahead. Though my inlaws live in Chandigarh but even then they were not in favour of inter-caste marriage. My father-in-law (Though Ph.D. in Physics) and mother-in-law (Ph.D. in English) were so adamant and not accepting the proposal of their son, it took years to accept---- their daughter-in-law. On my persistent requests they agreed to tie knot but with heavy heart, though I insisted that the childrens’ happiness is worth more than that of the people and society. Thank God, I am grateful that with the progressive mindset, they have accepted the daughter-in-law now. I am even more grateful when I think of the disturbing fate of those children who were killed by the people who were supposed to love and protect them, all because they did what comes naturally and loved someone else---who just happened to be unsuitable but still another human after all. Dr. Kaurji, I put the ball in your court and request you to decide whether the favour of mine for inter-caste marriage should be approved or not. The case again is connected with North India and I am the tool who helped the couple to get married. Now the couple is living peacefully. Madam if we live in South India or in Western part of India or Eastern part like West Bengal then no body bothers about the inter-caste marriage their. In the above-mentioned part of India the families are not much bothered and don’t interfere in the personal matters of the children. But in North India the family members are more careful in accepting or rejecting the match. The groom and bride’s approval is secondary, the decision is being taken by the family members.
