Shazia Khan, for BBC World Service, meets some young women in the UK for whom attempting escape from abusive marriages means risking murder by the men in their own families.
According to official statistics, one woman a month is killed in the UK by her family in the name of honour, usually because she has rejected or tried to escape from a forced marriage, or has found a partner to love of her own choosing.
Each year over 300 cases of forced marriage are dealt with by the Forced Marriage Unit set up by the British government.
But campaigners suspect that the figures are much higher, with women being driven to kill themselves out of desperation, or murders being disguised to look like suicide.
Honour killing
Though honour killing is sometimes thought to be a Muslim problem, it occurs in many patriarchal communities around the world, including Hindu, Sikh and Christian too.
Presenter Shazia Khan, who is herself a Muslim of Pakistani descent, is troubled that forced marriage and honour killings take place in her own Pakistani community. She is concerned that young men of her own generation, born or brought up in the UK, are prepared to go so far as to kill to preserve their family name.
Shazia talks to three women, one of them in hiding in fear of her life, about why they have become targets of such rage and threatened violence and how the very people who they would have hoped would protect them have turned on them.
For the women who have challenged their family's expectations, it can feel as if there is ‘No Way Out', a life-long price to pay.
We stay in, moving around, so low
Ask us where you went, we don't know
And don't care (don't care)
All we know is we was at home cause you left us there
You got your bus and got gone
And left us all alone
Now she in the club with a freaky dress on
Passed on, better keep that dress on
Tryin to get enough drinks in her system
Take it to the tele and make her a victim
Controlling the brain, ball play you in the face
They shake the spot, she's just another case
[Chorus]
Easy for a good girl whos gone bad
And once we gone (gone)
There's belief we've gone forever
Don't need a reason
Don't need a reason
You better learn how to treat us right
Cause onces a good girl goes bad
We die forever
He's staying with a flack of them all, yeah
Got a girl at home but he don't care
Won't care (won't care)
All he'll do is keep me at home, won't let me go no-where
He thinks because I'm at home I won't be gettin it on
And now I'm finding numbers in the jacket pockets
Chicks calling the house, no stop its
Getting out of control
Funnily I can't take no more
Because I met her on the stairs, saying this is the end
I packed my bag and left with your best friend
[Chorus]
We stay in, moving around, so low
Ask us where you went, we don't know
And don't care (don't care)
All we know is we was at home cause you left us there
You got your bus and got gone
And left us all alone
