Answer:

  • The Bengal Sati Regulation which banned the Sati practice in all jurisdictions of British India was passed on December 4, 1829 by the then Governor-General Lord William Bentinck. The regulation described the practice of Sati as revolting to the feelings of human nature.
  • Sati or suttee is the ancient Indian and Nepalese practice of burning a widow on her husband's funeral pyre or burying her alive in his grave. This practice is associated with Hindu traditions. The name is taken from the goddess Sati, wife of Shiva, who burned herself to protest her father's ill-treatment of her husband. The term "sati" can also apply to the widow who commits the act. The word "sati" comes from the feminine present participle of the Sanskrit word asti, meaning "she is true/pure." While it has been most common in India and Nepal, examples have occurred in other traditions from as far afield as Russia, Vietnam, and Fiji.
