KARNAL: A village in Haryana has claimed credit for a hoary "honour killing", with three relatives killing a couple for marrying within the familial gotra.
The village in Kaithal district now wants to felicitate the trio who were arrested after the bodies of the victims were found a week after the murder on June 15. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/C...ow/2168235.cms

Reps: 287,894,250,511,218,336 (power: 287,894,250,511,246) | | Subsuming the family is the patrilineage (known in northern and central India as the khandan , kutumb , or kul ), a locally based set of males who trace their ancestry to a common progenitor a few generations back, plus their wives and unmarried daughters. Larger than the patrilineage is the clan, commonly known as the gotra or got , a much larger group of patrilineally related males and their wives and daughters, who often trace common ancestry to a mythological figure.
More then distant cousins.
They forced them to drink pesticide and then bound them and threw them in a canal.
Thats some sick people. Not only an "honor killing" but sadistic too.
Basically, they were punished for not listening to the person that believed they were in charge.

"I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a ____. What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact that I said ____ than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night."- Tony Campolo
