Provides a description of “honourâ€-based violence that focuses on the structure of the family rather than the perpetrator's culture. Joanne Payton argues that within societies primarily organised by familial connections, women's “honour†is a form of symbolic capital within a “political economy†in which marriage organises intergroup connections.
