Lord William Bentinck abolished the Sati system in 1829 by declaring it an offence.

Sati was a practice in which a widow was expected to immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre. It was a widespread practice in India at the time, and it was seen as a way for a woman to prove her devotion to her husband and to achieve moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth.

Bentinck was a British general and administrator who served as Governor-General of India from 1828 to 1835. He was a reformer who was committed to improving the lives of the Indian people. He abolished a number of social evils, including Sati, child marriage, and infanticide.
