| Article Name : | | | ROLE OF KHAP PANCHAYATS IN HONOUR KILLING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MANOJ-BABLI CASE IN HARYANA | | Author Name : | | | Preeti Malik | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-9122 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | In Haryana, the Khap Panchayats that form the parallel judicial system have tacitly encouraged honour killings for years. Couples who marry within the same gotra are the primary target of honour killings, given that marrying within the gotra is considered as heinous as incest, Gotras are considered to be consanguineous bloodlines. The Khap Panchayat is a clannish organisation, now largely a Jat outfit, with bhaichara (brothethood) as its reason of existence. All its members are supposed to be blood relations. | | Keywords : | | - Honour killing. ,Khan Panchayats, ,laws, ,Human Rights, ,justice,
