“Honour killings” are described as “a noble name for a despicable act,” and despite the media hype surrounding this type of crime, large segments of the public lack basic information related to it, the context in which it occurs, and its true proportion within society.
Therefore, the book seeks to fill this deficiency by starting from the definition of this type of crime, linking it to the so-called “honorable motive” for the act of killing, and then moving on to shed light on the direct and indirect causes that are hidden behind them. While it also provides a detailed study of the mechanism by which Syrian law deals with this type of crime and the extenuating excuses for it, it then addresses the phenomenon of using minors to carry them out as a means of circumventing the law, the position of international law on this type of crime, and its social dangers, and ends by finally highlighting its presence in Drama, literature, and poetry.
Through this comprehensive book, lawyer and researcher Ahmed Sawan addresses the phenomenon of “murders of women under the pretext of honor” from different angles that are rarely combined in one book.
To those who are exhausted by pain and fatigue, to those whose affairs are difficult and whose wishes are delayed or distressed, to those who are weighed down by worry and grief, or by thinking about the future, and to those who are kept awake by fear and terrified by anxiety in the face of life’s circumstances, here are these words, phrases, and fleeting thoughts, with reflection on some of the verses. Pauses with supplication and its effect, and reflections that contain a dose of patience, good faith, optimism in God, and lack of despair, frustration, and pessimism in this life.
حوادث حدثت في دول مختلفة في العالم من أشخاص بعضهم متعمدون بالإقدام عليها وبعضهم أجبروا عليها ومعظمهم قاموا بها بأنفسهم لظروف خاصة بهم أجبرتهم على القيام بها

About the book
The book is a collection of articles that were written first with my mind and then translated by my pen, which for many years remained neglected in a drawer.
Just general ideas, topics, and stories that exist in the corridors of minds, and you may encounter some of us, if not everyone, along with some private conversations stored in my chest that I wanted to reveal through these pages.
