I don't think this should be merged with "consent" Condonation is a legal term of art that has an independant meaning (particularly in divorce law) despite the words being synonyms.

This is quite correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:75D0:6FA4:5200:EB8 (talk) 00:42, 31 March 2016 (UTC)Reply


Honor killings edit

Section moved to talk. This is not condonation as defined in the article and the word condonation does not occur in the reference. RJFJR (talk) 18:20, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

The principle of condonation or near-equivalents can shield those who commit honor killings from punishment:[1]

"Nearly 1,000 women are murdered in Pakistan each year for violating conservative norms on love and marriage. The so-called "honour killings" are often carried out by family members. Such killings are considered murder. But Sharia in Pakistan allows a murder victim's family to pardon the killer, which often allows those convicted of honour killings to escape punishment."
