Sati or Suttee refers to an age-old custom of burning alive, a newly widowed woman, be she old or young, after her husband's death. The practice is commonly thought to be based upon the legend of the Hindu goddess Sati who threw herself, in her grief, to die upon her husband's funeral pyre.

What's the deal with suttee? For years I've been hearing that in India, widows are routinely thrown on funeral pyres alive. Is this just propaganda? And if not, is it just unpopular widows that it happens to? Since most men die before women, do all children burn their mom alive as a matter of course?
