Answer:
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.
