Line 56: Honour in the case of sexuality frequently relates, historically, to [[fidelity]]: preservation of "honour" equates primarily to maintenance of the [[virginity]] of singles and to the exclusive [[monogamy]] of the remainder of the population. Further conceptions of this type of honour vary widely between cultures; some cultures regard [[honour killing]]s of (mostly female) members of one's own family as justified if the individuals have "defiled the family's honour" by marrying against the family's wishes, or even by becoming the victims of [[rape]]. Western observers generally see these honour killings as a way of men using the culture of honour to control female sexuality.<ref>{{cite news \| title = Honour killings of girls and women \| date = 1999-08-31 \| publisher = [[Amnesty International]] \| url = https://www.amnesty.org/en/library/info/ASA33/018/1999/en \| work = Amnesty International library \| accessdate = 2013-12-03}}</ref> Skinners, [[executioner]]s, [[Gravedigger\|grave-diggers]], shepherds, [[Barber surgeon\|barber-surgeons]], millers, linen-weavers, sow-gelders, [[Manual scavenging\|latrine-cleaners]], and bailiffs and their families were among the "dishonourable people" (''unehrliche Leute'') in early modern German society.<ref>[http://www.cambridgeindia.org/showbookdetails.asp?ISBN=9780521652391&category_id=63 Defiled Trades and Social Outcasts - Honor and Ritual Pollution in Early Modern Germany] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131003064153/http://www.cambridgeindia.org/showbookdetails.asp?ISBN=9780521652391&category_id=63 \|date=3 October 2013 }}, Cambridge University Press, 2000</ref> === Cultures of honour and cultures of law ===
