Sati is Back in Vogue Durable Link to this BLOG
Sati is Back in Vogue

An elderly woman committed  the "Sati" suicide in India yesterday. The relatives (and even her sons) helped her burn herself along with the corpse of her husband. BBC reports that fifteen people have been arrested, but as we know arrests won't solve this problem.

Read about the ancient practice of Sati in Love?, Duty? or Sacrifice? including the roots of the practice, a time-line and eye-witness accounts of the practice.
