9. Honour Killing
Honour killing, one of the most shocking Rituals in India. Marriage is more than bringing two people together in India. It is about the union of two families. Particular attention is given to ensure that a person does not marry outside his caste, community, religion, social status, etc. While the rigidity has diminished largely, many communities or families are extremely strict about these things. Apart from marriage, there are many other things they are strict about, like what to wear, whom to talk to, etc. In case a member of their family goes against the rules and regulations, they may be disowned by the family, or worse, killed, for bringing dishonour on the family or community.
