ABSTRACT

Three studies are presented that put on approval that the uxoricide (the husband that kills their wife) he/she can respond to a conflict of mentalities between the culture of the honor and the woman's liberation. This hypothesis arises of a first statistical study on the evolution of the uxoricide and patricide between 1980 and 1999, where it is observed that the number of uxoricides doesn't not only cease but rather it would be increasing in these last years that are made mainly by the male that is increasing the age of the couples in those that it happens and that one gives a discharge rate of uxoricides that you autoinmolan. In a second study the validity of the mentality of the culture of the honor, and its tendency is illustrated to go disappearing in the new generations. Finally, an experiment is presented in the one that puts on on approval the hypothesis that the uxoricide doesn't respond without more to a culture of the honor, but to the conflict that supposes being confronted with that other current mentality of the woman's liberation. The results show that the biggest males appeal more to the culture from the honor when outlining them that women of their age promulgate the woman's liberation. You concludes that the increment of the uxoricide in the biggest couples seems this way to originate of the conflict that is creating among the growing arrival of the liberation from the woman to those couples and the even ingrained one in them of a mentality of the culture of the honor.
