Recommendation
CEDAW recommended repealing article 332 (3) of the Federal Penal Code to ensure that perpetrators of so-called “honour killings” received penalties that were commensurate with the gravity of the crime. It also recommended addressing the practice of payment of diya, with a view to ensuring that such payments did not result in impunity for perpetrators of gender-based violence against women. [Para 30]
