The only solution for Honour Killing is to change the idea
that a girl comes under the control of the husband and therefore the caste of
the husband and therefore is completely lost to the parents.
If it is proclaimed that a girl will always be independent
and will in no way be controlled either by the husband or by the caste to which
the husband belongs, then the parents will not be as afraid or as threatened as
they are in the thought that they are losing their girl forever and therefore
their self-respect forever.
If they and the entire society accepts that the girl is as
much if not more on the same level as a boy, then they will not have any fear
of losing their girl. The girl is only herself engaged in finding a boy and is
not getting trapped in any way into a situation where she cannot ever come out
of. If the girl finds out that the boy is not suitable for her, then she can at
anytime walk back to her parents.
Parents must teach their children about the suitable
financial conditions for a marriage, instead of just waiting for the girl to
fall in love, and then to use violence against their own girl, in the fear of
losing her. If the children have some basic idea of what marriage involves, it
will lead to a sub-conscious hesitation.
And after their instruction to the children, if the children
fall in love, then the parents must accept it, that if either the boy or the
girl make a mistake, they will have the power to walk out without any problem.
