Answer:
Hiiii
The Sati or suttee was a historical practice found chiefly among Hindus in the northern and pre-modern regions of South Asia, in which a widow sacrifices herself by sitting atop her deceased husband funeral pyre. The extent to which sati was practised in history is not known with clarity.
Explanation:
Sati, also spelled as Suttee, is a practice among Hindu communities where a recently widowed woman, either voluntarily or by force, immolates herself on her deceased husband's pyre. The woman who immolates herself is, hence, called a Sati which is also interpreted as a 'chaste woman' or a 'good and devoted wife'. It was a cruel practice in 6 century BC. In this, the widow was forced to jump into his husband's fire in order to die along with him.
