On December 4, 1829, the then-Governor-General Lord William Bentinck issued the Bengal Sati Regulation, which prohibited the practice of Sati in all jurisdictions of British India. Sati practise was classified in the rule as repugnant to human sensibilities. Sati, often written Suttee, is a Hindu tradition in which a newly bereaved lady immolates herself on her deceased husband's pyre, either voluntarily or by coercion. Sati, also known as Suttee, is derived from the name of the goddess Sati, who immolated herself because she couldn't take her father Daksha's humiliation of her husband Shiva.
