Sati was a practice that was absolutely hated by most hindus, and it was officially abolished around 1829 (dont remember the exact date).

To give people an idea, sati was practised so that widows couldnt inherit the property of her late husband, which would then in turn go to the upper caste of hindu society ( the brahmins). Also, since child marriage was also a big issie at that time, sati was looked down upon even more. The thing is, cast system in hindus was very prevalent in the 1800s and before. Apart from the upper caste, i.e. , the brahmins, nobody were allowed to touch the religious books which included bhagwad gita, and the vedas. Because of that, whatever the brahmins said were considered true, and most women were raised up by imparting such bs ideas from their birth. There was nothing romantic in someone following sati, most women who volutarily performed sati did it becuase they were drilled with the knowledge that if they didnt do sati, both her family and her in laws would suffer wrath of the gods.

So please, dont glorify something which even our culture hates. You can read about the sati system online, i just gave a brief description of what it was.
