Fresh measures planned to target 'honour-based' abuse

The Sentinel

|

August 26, 2025

NEW measures will be introduced to crack down on so called “honour-based” abuse, the Government has announced.

Honour-based abuse (HBA) is motivated by the perception that a person has brought shame to themselves, their family or the community. Related crimes include female genital mutilation, forced marriage and murder.

In 2021, pregnant Fawziyah Javed, 31, died when she was pushed from Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh by her husband after she decided to leave the marriage.

New statutory guidance and a legal definition of honour-based abuse will be brought in to help combat the crime, the Government has said.
