Abstract
Since woman is "fair sex", not only helpless defending herself but also destitute and has no voice is silent. She is unaware of the fundamental rights given by Islam. The doors to education are closed on her especially for the women residents of rural areas of my beloved country. That is why aristocratic class of the society imposes "Dark Laws" in the form of custom and values in society. The custom of "Honor Killing or Karo Kari" is most heinous of these customs. This dreadful custom has been taking the toll of women's lives for years. When did this custom start? History is silent about it could be surely termed as ignorance. Islam is the religion of peace and prosperity; it is the religion of justice, fairness, tolerance and unity. This is the only religion of world which is not spread by sword or gun but only due to its gratitude towards others. In Islam's view even killing an ant is apprehend-able, let alone of a human being. Islamic laws and Hudood laws have proper procedure without Hudood can not be implemented. "Honor Killing" has no place in Islam, it is a heinous crime unacceptable in Islam.
