This is very different from such religious ideas as suttee, wherein a wife at the time of her husband’s death is persuaded or coerced into burning herself to death in the belief that the marriage bond continues on into some afterlife.
See erineb suuresti sellistest religioossetest ideedest nagu sati, mille kohaselt abikaasa surma korral veendakse või sunnitakse naist end surnuks põletama usus, et abieluside kestab edasi mingisuguses hauataguses elus.
