What is another word for suttees?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌtiːz] (IPA) 
Suttees refer to the ancient Indian practice of widows voluntarily sacrificing themselves on their husband's funeral pyre. This practice was abolished in 1829 by the British colonial government. The term "suttees" has no synonyms, as it specifically refers to this practice. However, there are related concepts such as "widow burning" or "self-immolation," which can be used to describe the act of a widow choosing to die alongside her husband. It is important to note that the practice of suttees is not condoned or practiced in modern India, and is widely regarded as a barbaric and inhumane tradition.
