Honour kind which "places an individual socially and determines his right to precedence". This sort of honour is often not so much a function of moral or ethical excellence, as it is a consequence of power. Finally, with respect to sexuality, "honour" has traditionally been associated with (or identical to) "chastity" or "virginity", or in case of married men and women, "fidelity".
