Original Note:
The practice of sati is outlawed in India since 1829. The practice has been culturally eradicated. The last known case was 32 years ago. There's some scholarly debate over if it should be classified as suicide since the woman had mental health issues. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_Sati_Regulation,_1829 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(Prevention)_Act,_1987 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-65311042 https://indianexpress.com/article/india/she-ceased-to-be-a-woman-was-a-goddess-6016915/
