Sati pratha, the practice of widow immolation, was officially eradicated in Nepal by King Tribhuvan in 1920. The ban was part of broader social reforms aimed at modernizing the country and improving women's rights. Despite the legal prohibition, remnants of the practice persisted in some areas for years afterward. The eradication was a significant step towards gender equality in Nepal.
Sati pratha was banned in India in 1829 by the British government.

Sati pratha, the practice of widow self-immolation, was officially abolished in Nepal in the early 20th century under the reign of King Tribhuvan. The ban was influenced by social reformers and activists who advocated for women's rights and sought to eliminate this harmful tradition. The move marked a significant step towards improving the status of women in Nepalese society.

Sati practice was abolished by the British colonial government in India through legislative measures enacted from 1829 to 1832. Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General of India at the time, played a key role in banning this practice, which involved the immolation of widows on their husband's funeral pyre.
