Abstract: Khaled Hosseini presents the struggle Afghan women go through every day by discussing honour, marriage and the place of women in society in Afghanistan. Hosseini makes it very apparent that honour is extremely important to people in the Afghan culture and what others think of them means a lot. Afghan would do anything to keep their honour, even if it means they are unhappy. In both novels, Hosseini shows a number of examples of dishonour and the negative impacts it can have to an individual`s well-being. According to the Honour Based Violence Network, In Afghanistan, honour crimes remain very high along with many other forms of violence against women, and are increasing as attitudes fail to keep pace with economic and social changes.
Key words: social, Afghanistan, women.
