Purified by Blood by Clementine van Eck, 2003

Honour Killings amongst Turks in the Netherlands

Honour killings are murders that are carried out to purify tarnished honour, the honour in question being namus. Both men and women possess namus. For women and girls, namus means chastity, while for men it means having chaste female family members.
