        abstract = {The God of small things reflect not only crime against women about rape, domestic violence, molestation and Dalit agendas but also the social paroxysm about honor killing. Honour killing is essentially the intentional, premeditated death of a woman, generally at the request of family members, who believe she has brought dishonour to the family. Thus, “honor killing is called a customary killing can be said as the murder of a family or social group by other members, due to the belief of the perpetrators that the victim has brought dishonor upon the family or community”. In what seems to be a startling instance of honour killing, a 23-year-old third-year medical student was reportedly burned to death in 2 Nanded in the Marathwada area of Maharashtra. “In a macabre case of ‘honor killing’ the 7 Maharashtra Police have arrested an 18-year-old youth and his mother for allegedly hacking off his elder sister’s head with a sickle, clicking selfies and sharing them in groups, officials said in Aurangabad”. Honor Killings were on rise in Maharashtra too, activist claimed here today.” We associate honor killings with the states such as Hariyana, Punjab, Uttarpradesh and Bihar due to the dominance of khap panchayat over there, but in Maharashtra too incidents of honor killing have been increasing”, said journalist Jatin Desai.},
