娑提 (习俗) Sati (practice)
（重定向自Suttee）
娑提，原为印度教司婚姻幸福的女神达刹约尼的别名之一，因为传说的关系成为了忠贞的代名词。神话中的娑提为向侮辱其恋人湿婆的父亲达刹表达不满而投火自尽，她的灵魂转世为雪山神女并与湿婆再度结婚。这段恋爱故事在印度的民间地区演变成习俗，即妇女在丈夫死后（一般是葬礼上）自焚殉夫以表达对先夫的忠贞。印度寡妇进行「娑提」的仪式一般都是自愿的，但亦有文献记录或作画显示有的妇女是受到社会压力，甚至是被他人强迫运行仪式的。

Sati (practice) 娑提 (习俗)
（重定向自Suttee）
Sati (Sanskrit: satī, also spelled suttee) is an obsolete Hindu funeral custom where a widow immolated herself on her husband's pyre, or committed suicide in another fashion shortly after her husband's death.
Mention of the practice can be dated back to the 4th century BC, while evidence of practice by wives of dead kings only appears beginning between the 5th and 9th centuries AD. The practice is considered to have originated within the warrior aristocracy on the Indian subcontinent, gradually gaining in popularity from the 10th century AD and spreading to other groups from the 12th through 18th century AD. The practice was particularly prevalent among some Hindu communities, observed in aristocratic Sikh families, and has been attested to outside South Asia in a number of localities in Southeast Asia, such as in Indonesia, and Champa.
