Another honor killing in India.. Satyamev not so Jayate??

TOI: Man featured in Aamir Khan's show murdered ... I didn't watch this episode of Satyamev Jayate completely but I would. But can you really imagine stuff like this still happening in our society. I mean, honestly I can imagine it & believe it but I cannot understand or agree with it at all. In a democracy, with law & order we have people not following the law. And that's just BS & unacceptable. There are social & cultural norms & family traditions and all that but none of that should be above the constitution & law & freedom of choice aka free will. If two people want to get married and there families do not understand or accept it, its there personal decision. Its unfortunate for both the couple & parents & even the family to not be able to share the joy of this union & beginning of new life for there loved ones. But that's a personal choice, personal decision and life is not perfect. But no one has right to take law in there own hands, forget about heinous crime like murder or honor killing. That's just plain stupid. What do you get out of it? Seriously? Killing your loved ones, your family or there loved ones.. for picking there own life partner.. wow, that's just ridiculous. Isn't it painful/punishment enough for the newly wed couple to not have family support & blessings & love. And same for parents & family of couple. Relationships are complicated and so are weddings and beginning of new relationships. But we really need to grow up as a society to deal with these situations in a more civilized & human way. And until we can't its responsibility of the police & government to make sure that in a democracy like India, freedom of choice, liberty, human rights & free will is preserved.
