Abstract
Honor Lost: Love and Death in Modern — Day Jordan is a novel which tells about a tribal tradition that persists in Jordan modern society called honor killing. It occurs to the women who are suspected doing a disgraceful behavior streaking their family honor. This idea is revealed in the novel as it tells about a Muslim woman named Dalia who has a secret relationship with Michael, a Catholic man. This relationship is forbidden since both of them have different religious faith. One day, Dalia's brother, Mohammed, discloses this secret relationship. Finally, Dalia is killed by her father, Mahmood, in order to restore the family honor that has been disgraced by what Dalia has done. After Dalia's death, life in Dalia's family goes normal as usual and Mahmood free from punishment.
