Many innocent women have become the victim of this so called “Humor”. Tribal Codes, customs and traditions over the ages have been molded with misinterpreted religious injunctions give them credence and authority. It has been now boiled down to a convenient cover for all kinds of violence against women. This outlook continues to flourish and has survival cover for all legal, political and ethical development of our time. Article in hand addresses this issue delineated by urging that it must be understood in its totality and solution to be found to eradicate it. It needs to change his thinking, tradition and attitude towards women that are so deeply entrenched in the psyche of the Pakistan males. For this purpose, it is necessary to give wider exposure to this social evil amongst the masses to bring about an authentic and abiding social reformation. Key Words: Honor Killing, Violence against Women, Tribal Codes, Penal Code, Domestic Law.
