Astoundingly, her own husband, always under the control of his over-bearing mother, went along with the plans with barely a question.The story follows the author's upbringing in the UK, reared in traditional British-Sikh style, then being taken out of school as a young teen to be trained to be a good wife and mother with her Indian family. Shortly after returning to the UK two years later she was forced into marriage whereby she was the dutiful and submissive wife expected.As arranged, her sister-in-law was murdered in India which the family acknowledged but the author was threatened with her own life should she tell anyone. Some years later she did only to find the local Sikh community were more concerned about the 'shame' she had brought upon her family rather than the fact they had murdered a family member. To a British reader is it beyond shocking.Eventually, justice was achieved and the author is now able to move on and live a life of freedom ensuring her own sons and daughters enjoy freedom themselves.Throughout, this book is exceptionally well written leaving me gripped throughout from early morning through to the early hours of the following day with only the shortest breaks reluctantly taken for meals. It is the first book ever that I have read cover to cover in one sitting but I had to keep going because it was so compelling.For anyone interested in Indian culture when things go badly wrong and lead to honour killings, ie murder, then this book is enthralling reading - and it's all true. Afterwards, I Googled the names and read the press accounts which included photos confirming it wasn't a story but horrifying reality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Survivor story *by D***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2023* Gripping from start to finish. A very honest account of a lady who has sacrificed so much to please others and someone who put her own life at risk in order to get justice. Truly remarkable read, thank you for highlighting in deferences in communities which still exist today. There is no shame in telling the truth! I hope that more people will have the power to speak out after reading this book.Thank you for sharing your story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good read *by K***3 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2017* Really enjoyed this book, at times I did find it frustrating that the women could not sand up to the horrible mother in law unless they paid a price, howeve this is because it's a different culture and what's seen as ok in theirs was not in mine. I wanted to jump in the book at times and give the mother in law a piece of my mind. For this reason I give it 4 stars, it gripped me from the start and was very emotional read. I felt for the main character. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62268839-shamed-the-honour-killing-that-shocked-britain-by-the-sister](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62268839-shamed-the-honour-killing-that-shocked-britain-by-the-sister) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
