sut·tee /(ˌ)səˈti, ˈsʌˌti/
妻子的殉夫
Sut·tee n.
1. A Hindoo widow who immolates herself, or is immolated, on the funeral pile of her husband; -- so called because this act of self-immolation is regarded as envincing excellence of wifely character. [India]
2. The act of burning a widow on the funeral pile of her husband. [India]
Note: ☞ The practice, though abolished in British India law in 1829, is not wholly prevented.
