Honor killings are increasing year by year.

From 28 cases in 2014 to 251 in 2016, this is an almost 800% rise in the cases of reported honour killings in India. The victims of this heinous crime are young couples who are thought to bring shame to their families. Through protests and rallies, India now has a separate category to file honour killing cases. But the numbers that we have in front of us are just the ones that have been reported, there are far too many cases which are not reported in fear of spoiling the family reputation. The maximum number of cases were reported in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
