Honour Killings have always been a crucial problem in India. While most of the cases of honour killings are reported from the north Indian states of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh; in Tamil Nadu many cases go unreported because such deaths are often passed as suicides. This particular incident that happened under broad daylight indicates the reality of the social scenario. Inter-caste marriages — particularly those involving Dalit bride or groom — often strike discord amongst the dominant Hindu community. According to a member of Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front (TNUEF), there have been 98 cases of honour killings in Tamil Nadu between 2012 and 2015, most of them of which were covered up as ‘suicides’.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
