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.
The practice of Sati was banned in India by Lord William Bentinck in 1829 through the Bengal Sati Regulation Act. This law made the act of Sati, where widows would self-immolate on their husband's funeral pyre, illegal in British India.

That was a Hindu tradition that is now unlawful in India and Nepal (and has been for some time).
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.
