The Supreme Court (SC) recently declared that any attempt by Khap panchayats to end a marriage between consenting adults is illegal.
The Court asked the Parliament to come up with a suitable legislation against these social assemblies. The court has laid down guidelines to prevent such intrusions, including the use of Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to prevent the gathering of khap panchayats.
'Khap' panchayats are caste or community groups, present largely in rural areas, which at times act as quasijudicial bodies, lay down social norms and pronounce punishments based on age old customs.

While the role and prestige of these groups are shrinking in some ways, as younger generations become exposed to more modern ideas through urbanization and the media, they often have staunch supporters.
Honour killings are murder committed by family members and the people belonging to the concerned caste/class, who believe that the victims have brought shame and dishonor to their family name.
