Six Sentenced to Life for Honour Killing in India

In recent court rulings across India, multiple individuals have been sentenced to life imprisonment for serious criminal offenses. A sessions court in Kerala convicted four men associated with the RSS for the 2008 murder of CM Mohammed Kunhi, a mosque president, marking a significant communal violence case resolution in the region. In Tamil Nadu, three men received life sentences for the murder of K. Selvam over a land dispute. Additionally, a fast-track court in Muzaffarnagar sentenced six relatives to life for the honor killing of Farhana, who was shot by her family shortly after a love marriage, reflecting ongoing issues surrounding caste and familial opposition to inter-caste unions. Furthermore, six men were convicted in Indore for the murder of an army man during a dispute, emphasizing the pervasive nature of violent crime linked to personal conflicts. These cases highlight the judiciary's efforts to address severe crimes through stringent penalties.
