Question

Abolition of the practice of sati and encouragement of widow remarriage were put in place. Who supported this?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ancient Hindu tradition called sati, wherein a widow would throw herself on her husband's pyre and burn to death, was initially a voluntary act considered courageous and heroic, but it later became a forced practice. Although sati is now banned all over India, it has a dark history. Culture Trip reports.
