The intended purpose of an honor killing is to restore the family's honor from disgrace brought on by a family member's actions, typically related to perceptions of the family's honor being violated or damaged by the individual's behavior, particularly in relation to sexual behavior or relationships outside of the family's cultural or religious norms.
