Disclaimer
The purpose of this presentation is just to highlight the
social issues in Pakistan. We neither wants to create any
type of controversy in any aspect nor dishonour any religion,
culture or any political party.
Topics to be discussed
● Blind Following
● Honor Killing
1) Blind Following
Blind following means having a herd mentality.
It means people adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than
rational basis.
People affected by this may make different decisions than they would have
individually.
1) Blind Following
- Political Aspect
- Cultural Aspect
- Religious Aspect
Reasons for blind following
● Lack of knowledge
● Having an egocentric personality
● If other people do it, that means it’s right.
● Remaining unaware of situations
Honor Killing
Honour killing is an act of murder, in which a person is murdered for his or her
actual or perceived immoral behavior.
Such "immoral behavior" may take the form of alleged marital infidelity, refusal
to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a divorce, perceived flirtatious
behaviour and being raped.
Suspicion and accusations alone are many times enough to defile a family's
honour and therefore enough to warrant the killing of the woman

Honor Killing
● Pakistan accounts for about a fifth of the 5,000 'honour' killings globally
each year. Observers have noted that violence is not just meted out to
women only but equally threatens men's life as well.
● According to The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan approximately
15222 cases of Honour Killing took place from 2004-2016.
Reasons
● To restore their honour and dignity
● To avoid social rejection
● Lack of proper recourse to law
● Misinterpretation of Islamic teachings and the Sunnah of the Prophet
(PBUH). Nowhere in the Quran or Sunnah, murdering someone is justified
and no one, in any case, is allowed to take the law in their own hands.
