## Resource

When "love" is used as a weapon and "reputation" becomes a motive. This episode explores the devastating phenomenon of honor killings—a practice that turns family members into foes under the guise of tradition. We’re looking at the psychology behind the act, the cultural pressures that fuel it, and why justice is so often hard to find when the crime is kept within the house. Research links below!
