Produktbeschreibung

‘Honor' crimes target women and girls for transgressions against the moral code of the community, punishing female sexual autonomy in particular. This book argues that ‘honor’ represents women’s conformity to culturally-enforced standards of marriageability and underpins family and marital connections which form a primary method of organization within the community.
