The case of Hameeda adds to the numerous honour killing incidents occurring all over the country.
The news of the incident has infuriated netizens, who shared their thoughts.
A user wrote: “This is outrageous! Her own son killed her for not being a good person?
“A sinner killed another sinner for alleged sinning?”
Another said: “Killing in the name of honour was just an excuse. He must have wanted her property.”
One user said:
“Imagine birthing and raising a son just so he can kill you when he grows up.”
Another asked: “And people still prefer sons?”
One noted: “If he was such a ‘man’ that his pride was hurt due to his mother, why does he feel the need to hide like a little girl?
“He is man enough to kill his own mother but not brave enough to face the consequences?”
Unfortunately, honour killings are common in Pakistan.
According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, around 1,000 women are killed in the name of honour every year in the country.
In most cases, a woman or girl is killed for marrying against their family’s wishes, eloping with her boyfriend or cheating on her husband.
