Book Synopsis Honor and the Political Economy of Marriage by : Joanne Payton
Book excerpt: 'Honor' crimes target women and girls for transgressions against the moral code of the community, punishing female sexual autonomy in particular. This book argues that 'honor' represents women's conformity to culturally-enforced standards of marriageability and underpins family and marital connections which form a primary method of organization within the community.
