What Is the Custom of Sati?

Sati or Suttee is a banned funeral custom, where a widow either voluntarily or by compulsion self-immolates (Anumarana or Anugamana) on her husband’s pyre, or commits suicide in some other manner, following her husband’s death. It is regarded to have emerged from the warrior aristocracy in the northern Indian subcontinent and later found ground in many areas in Southeast Asia. Unrelenting campaigns of reformers like Ram Mohan Roy and William Carey led to ban of Sati in India starting from the passage of Bengal Sati Regulation in 1829. Later, the Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987, was enacted that prohibits any kind of aid, encouragement, and glorifying the practice of sati.
