Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 is a law enacted by Government of Rajasthan in 1987. It became an Act of the Parliament of India with the enactment of The Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 in 1988. The Act seeks to prevent sati the voluntary or forced burning or burying alive of a widow, and to prohibit glorification of this action through the observance of any ceremony, participation in any procession, creation of a financial trust, construction of a temple, or any actions to commemorate or honor the memory of a widow who committed sati [1]

Nah, I knew I was being a contrarian shit. It's questionable since I'm not from the culture, but I imagine it could be viewed in a light like physician assisted suicide or something.
It's obviously from a different era, where stuff like samurai killing random peasants on the back roads existed.
