Sati is the practice of self-immolation, or burning yourself to death. It comes from Hindu mythology. The story of Dakshayani (Sati) and her marraige to the god Shiva. Some classic examples are the protest satis. Wives (widows) will often burn themselves to death to follow their husband and aid him in the afterlife.
