Suttee was an old Indian custom that a widow would perform because of her husband’s death. A Suttee was when the widow would go and burn herself on her previously deceased husband’s grave. Suttee was started because of this Hindu goddess, named Sati foolishly and stupidly burned herself with her own powers after her father insulted Shiva, who was her husband.
