[...] male-on-male violence is usually the outcome of ‘feuds over land or property’ (Siddiqui2005: 264; see also Hall 2014). However, this chapter will focus on the most common motivation for ‘honour’ crimes: the control of female sexuality. Usually in these instances a female who may have sought a divorce, refused a marriage proposal or engaged in extramarital affairs is perceived as transgressing the cultural boundaries of her permitted sexual behaviour and is therefore seen to be shaming the reputation of her family. Having had her behaviour and sexuality monitored by family members – who act to regulate and restore their family honour in the eyes of others – she becomes the victim of violent crime.
