(Kanun) In law, extenuating circumstances (or mitigant circumstances) are criminal cases in which, though an offense has been committed without legal justification or excuse, its gravity, from the point of view of punishment or moral opprobrium, is mitigated or reduced by reason of unusual or extreme facts leading up to or attending the commission of the offense
or mitigating circumstance In law, circumstance that diminishes the culpability of one who has committed a criminal offense. In many Anglo-American legal systems, provocation of the accused by the victim can reduce a charge of first-degree murder to second-degree murder or to manslaughter.

The Italian penal code allows consideration of motives of honour. Extenuating circumstances also are a factor in many civil actions
