Satī was a religious funereal practice among some Indian communities in which a recently widowed woman would have to sacrifice her life on her husband's funeral pyre. Many brave women, specially Rajputs, have performed Sati on their own wish, but later women were forced to do so and were looked as a bad person if they disagree to do so.

Sati affected people in the following ways :

  • The women who is burned might be a mother, sister or a daughter.
  • her children will be left orphaned
  • sati took the right to life away from women
  • it expressed inequality between men and women
  • "Sati" is nothing but the cruel murder of widowed women, who are made to burn themselves with their late husbands
