The so-called "honor murder" refers to the killing of family members who have "brought shame". Recently, there was an "honor murder" incident in Iran, a man beckoned his brother to tie up his wife with flowers, and then cut off his head with a knife and took it to the street to "show the public", which caused shock.
(Assailant Man)
According to media reports, the incident occurred in western Iran, and the woman who was tragically "honored" was 17 years old, and she was forced to marry her cousin, her husband Haidari, when she was 12 years old. But Iranian law requires girls to marry at the age of 13, and the woman's father insists that it is approved to marry his daughter. However, the woman suffered from domestic violence after marriage, and although she had a 3-year-old child, there were reports that she had cheated on her before she died and fled to Turkey, hoping to divorce her husband. Later, at the request of her father, the woman returned to Iran. However, her husband immediately summoned his brother to tie her hands and feet and cut off her head with a knife.
What is even more frightening is that after cutting off his wife's head, Heidari also discarded his wife's body, and then held a knife in one hand and his wife's head in the other, and swung around on the street, his face was "full of smiles", and others filmed this terrible scene, and he also smiled happily at the camera. Apparently, not only did the man not think there was something wrong with his approach, but he also thought it was an "honor murder." According to Heydari's mother, Heydari had already threatened to kill his wife and claimed to be responsible for all this.

The incident caused a stir in Iran, and law enforcement officers subsequently arrested Heidari and his brother who helped him commit the crime. Women's rights activists expressed the view that Iran should consider promoting legislation to protect women. Similar incidents are said to have occurred in Iran, where in 2020 a father beheaded his 13-year-old girl and another Iranian father beat his 22-year-old daughter with a stick. In addition, an Iranian woman also tried to escape marriage that year, and was subsequently caught by her husband, and then "beheaded".
(A man in India also took his daughter's head to the street.)

Moreover, in some countries and regions, there is still a horror concept of "honor murder", which makes some people have extreme thoughts and are more likely to do extreme things. These situations need to be paid attention to.
