6 Reasons Why People Kill Each Other In India

3. Love Affairs/ Sexual Causes

Total deaths caused, either by murder or culpable homicide: 2,385

While India is still a traditional country in the sense that sex before marriage and dating are often considered unacceptable in society, love affairs/sexual causes are one of the leading reasons why people kill each other in India. This is due to a multitude of factors. Sometimes, a person kills the one he is having an affair with, in order to preserve his or her innocence and to cut off any association being made. In other cases, it is when two people who are having an affair realize they can’t be together and decide to kill themselves, or each other in murder-suicide bids.
