They shouldn't be making illegal copies anyway.

Regardless of whether you agree with the practice or not, depending on your cultural upbringing, if this was something that the widow wanted to do, she should be allowed to do it. If she DID NOT want to do it, but was forced to by her relatives in order to satisfy some cultural requirement, then that is murder. Unless any of us were actually there on the scene, we're not qualified to make a judgement as to which was the case here.

Every country has its ignorant morons living in the stone ages. This is a practice that is revolting to the vast majority of the country, and is outlawed by the government. Yes it once was more common in villages, but not so long ago american towns would gather black people to tar, feather, and lynch. Drawing any conclusions about the culture from this is just plain stupid.

you're assuming that she was murdered. just because the people stopped rescuers from rescuing her doesn't mean she was murdered. you forget one important thing, she did it on her own accord. thats what sati is. and that should be her right to do it if she wants to.

Maybe or maybe not, I don't think the people that threw her on the fire would admit to doing so.

This cultural practice should end.

where does it say the people threw her into the fire. sati isn't murder, no one tosses the widow into the flames
