- Abstract:
In this article the author discusses honor killings and forced marriage among Muslims in Great Britain. He notes that members of the general public have come to think of such actions as being tenets of Islam, instead of an holdover from tribal custom. He discusses issues of clan, caste and honor as practiced among some Muslims in the central region of Great Britain. He calls upon British authorities to criminalize forced marriage.
