In numerous cultures around the world the concept of 'honour' or esteem held in the eyes of a worthy community is very important. A man's honour/family/clan honour is usually tied to the chastity and modesty of the female members of his household.
For example, if a female member of his household uncovers her hair or flirts with boys, behaves immodestly, runs off with a man from a different clan/caste/tribe she can be strictly punished if not killed by her brothers or father.
In such culture (traditional Arab, Pakistani, Chechen, Albanian etc...) women are often referred to as just 'honour' in the sense that their chastity and modesty is so deeply connected to the honour of a man's household.
At one time all cultures held the concept of family honour in high esteem. What caused the decline of honour culture in the west?
