ABSTRACT
It has been centuries that our countries inhuman and gender biased heritage have been jarring society of India. All the behaviours prompted frequently a controversy between two types of philosophers that are gender and cultural. This research paper also highlights several key aspects that are often disregarded, particularly in the courtroom in addition to examining whether theoretical framework is more analytically better. Sexuality is the most essential elements to keep in mind when talking about honour crimes. Due to the multiple waves of the female movement across the world, sexuality as a concept has also changed. Issues related to honour crimes during the last two decades has been considered while keeping gender a base by The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. Using a historical and philosophical context, we will evaluate four important decisions involving honour crimes decided by the court in the last thirty years. By analysing the wording of the judgments and the phrases used in them, we will try to assess the evolution of the Supreme Court's treatment of gender concerns in these offences.
Keywords: honour crimes, male victims, gender, judiciary, ethnomethodology, theory.
