Obligation to family, life spent trying to uphold and increase honour of family. Proves family solidarity, if one member does something honourable then the entire family is honourable, vice versa. Losing it depends on the manliness of the man (when blood is lost, less manliness) courageous and fierce and self control hard because of the nature of man = cowardice and sensitivity, And sexual shame of woman - raped or willing. tricky because even after the rape or the girl has been killed and remedied, it is never forgotten by the community, therefore woman/family will always carry some shame. Avenging murder is a direct blow to a family"s honour is to kill a male in their family, the family will stay inferior to the killing family until they avenge the murder to gain honour back.
