Abstract
This paper focuses on killing in the name of honor that has received scant attention from intercultural communication scholars. Incompatible moral value sets are often expressed through the complexity of intercultural or intergroup communication at various institutional and community reaction levels. While we do not condone honor killing, the social ecological perspective (SEP) provides multi-layered and embedded contextual framing of the situation to understand honor killing. First, this paper contextualizes honor killing and then presents a true story of honor killing. Subsequently, it discusses SEP and applies it to the Banaz Mahmod's killing. It concludes with future theoretical directions.
