According to the human rights watch report, people kill more than 1000 women in the name of honor in Pakistan. However, the number stands more than that as many don’t report the cases. Moreover, the killing of the model Qandeel Baloch is also the offshoot of honor killing, who did not deserve this death. A young couple was also recently killed in Chitral.
