This study aims to investigate, from a qualitative perspective, how the concept of honor is positioned within the rural social structure, how responses to violations of honor are reflected in the community, and particularly how individuals who are ostracized from their families affect both their families and themselves. The research was conducted using a qualitative design, and in-depth interviews were carried out with ten participants living in rural areas of Igdir. The findings indicate that the concept of honor in rural society functions not only as an individual moral value but also as a central norm that sustains collective order. Interviews revealed that honor-related violations frequently result in expulsion from the family and village, social stigmatization, and the emergence of various psychological problems. Participants reported that expelled individuals experience severe psychological distress, economic hardship, social isolation, and often feel compelled to migrate. Furthermore, processes of modernization—particularly the widespread use of social media and communication technologies—have been observed to erode honor-based relations and weaken traditional forms of social regulation (such as tribal and clan structures), while simultaneously creating new areas of risk. The study concludes that honor-based stigmatization is not merely an individual sanction but a multidimensional social phenomenon with economic, cultural, and societal implications. Overall, the findings suggest that traditional cultural values continue to shape rural social life; honor-related violations elicit the harshest forms of social response; and traditional norms, although still influential, have begun to show signs of erosion.
