Answer:

Sati refers to a practice of a widow sacrificing herself after her husband's death – either on his pyre or separately. It is derived from a Sanskrit word suttee meaning “virtuous woman”. In Hinduism, it symbolises closure to a marriage and a woman's destiny lies in committing her life to her husband, even after death.
