Survivors
[edit]Is it valid to include survivors of honour killing in the "notable victims" list? Asking this as all of these added people are obviously deceased. 2A02:C7C:B459:F500:B83E:5651:E4A0:B1BB (talk) 17:32, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Philippines
[edit]Is Honour Killing really a tradition in that country? I found femicides but these are not explicitly mentioned to be honour codes.
Maybe it happens in the Muslim community of that country as FGM happens there too? 2A02:C7C:B459:F500:54A5:3828:A122:D66A (talk) 14:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- The section "In national legal codes" details the laws in Philippines, citing several articles of law in that country which enable such homicides, or otherwise support practices related to restoring the honor (including the marry-your-rapist law law). And Article 255 explicitly mentions "dishonor". See also this [1] (on Article 247). Clearly a country with a law which enables the killing of a daughter by her parents for premarital sex falls in the category of countries which subscribe to honor codes, as understood by international standards. 82.78.48.250 (talk) 14:59, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Are those murders societal within that country or is it limited to the Muslim community? Not to mention that Philippines is mostly Christian. 2A02:C7C:B459:F500:D0E1:C249:C260:C155 (talk) 17:26, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
British Sikh community
[edit]NebY, i remember a few months ago I added "sikhs" after Muslims and Hindus were mentioned (the section of homosexuality being a motivation), and you have undone it. Other than my poor reasoning not being found within the study, why shouldn't I include Sikhs in it? It is true that Honour Killing is a widespread practice in many Sikh families. Not just Muslims or Hindu ones. 2A02:C7C:B459:F500:D0E1:C249:C260:C155 (talk) 17:28, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- In order to add that to the article, our policy on verifiability (WP:V) requires the citation of reliable sources (WP:RS) that directly support the statements, and without, as Wikipedia:No original research#Synthesis of published material puts it, combining "
material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source ... [or] different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source.
" WP:DUE would also apply. NebY (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Uganda
[edit]Is it really still the case that Uganda has honour killings? I was searching for results on the internet, but none of them mention Uganda as a traditional country for honour killing. I only found a couple of maps, and just the on source in the article that mentions Uganda.
Same goes for Ecuador. The only two I see them mentioned are in that one source and two data maps; no more than that. 2A02:C7C:B459:F500:C5C6:8C5C:59EB:51EF (talk) 09:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Uganda: Honour killing?
[edit]Is it really true that honour killings occur in Uganda? I was researching about this murder in that country but there had been nothing but just reports of simple murders of women. Perhaps it's limited to the Muslim community rather than it being widespread? ShawarmaFan07 (talk) 16:46, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
