This article aims to analyze the unconstitutionality of the theory of the legitimate defense of honor in crimes of feminicide, based on the Action for Failure to Comply with Fundamental Precepts (ADPF) nº 779, judged by the Federal Supreme Court (STF). The theory of the legitimate defense of honor in the Brazilian legal system and its application in jury courts is analyzed historically as an argument for acquittal in cases of feminicide. The investigation, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, examines the normative advances provided by Law nº 11.340/2006 and Law nº 14.994/2024, highlighting their contributions to the protection of the rights of women and the strengthening of the fight against gender violence in Brazil.
