Sati / Suttee - Devanagari: सती, the feminine of sat "true"

:salam2:

[Source:](Sati (practice) - Wikipedia

Sati was a social funeral practice among some Indian communities in which a recently widowed woman would immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. Later her house become a shrine, as they strongly believe that one who has become a sati is a deity; she is worshipped and endowed with gifts.

The term is derived from the original name of the goddess Sati, also known as Dakshayani, who self-immolated because she was unable to bear her father Daksha’s humiliation of her (living) husband Shiva. The term may also be used to refer to the widow. The term sati is now sometimes interpreted as “chaste woman”. Sati appears in both Hindi and Sanskrit texts, where it is synonymous with “good wife”; the term suttee was commonly used by Anglo-Indian English writers.

Although the Government banned it but still pratice of ‘sati’ happen.
