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 word "sati" comes from the feminine present participle of the Sanskrit word asti, meaning "she is true/pure."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'.
