Honour killings – where men and women are killed by their kin or members of their caste for defying traditions are rampant in western parts of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana.
The violence is committed in the name of saving the honour of the community, caste or family. However, there is no data of such killings as their records are not kept separately.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) estimates that the annual worldwide total of honor-killing victims may be as high as 5,000. It could be more too since most cases are unreported.

Editor’s note: When Sharat emailed me this story, he called it “the egg of 55 Fiction” obviously for bordering into adult theme. I chose to publish it for the sole reason there still exist husbands who fail to understand the feelings and emotions of women. This story, I feel captures such husbands who make love mechanically and selfishly without giving a thought about what a women feel, think and goes through… Unfortunately, we have couples who are strange to each other still living together.
