From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Europe, honor relates to different concepts depending on the geographic area; whereas honor is strongly linked to family reputation in the Mediterranean countries, in Northern Europe it has a more individualized meaning that is focused on personal accomplishments and qualities [1]. Similar to gender-specific family honor codes in the Middle East, Mediterranean nations also traditionally exhibit such codes; women are seen as honorable by their chastity whereas men are seen as honorable by their productivity, toughness, and by protecting the honor of the women[1][2]. In Italy, infidelity of women was seen dishonorable, thus crimes of passion were classified as second-degree murders until 1970sCite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
