Types of Crime against Women
Through The ages, there have been various crimes and various forms of crimes practised in our country. Few prominent amongst them are as follows: 1.) Sati Pratha 2.) Dowry and Dowry Deaths. 3.) Rape 4.) Prostitution and Immoral Woman Trafficing 5.) Domestic Violence 6.) Child Marriage
Now We shall briefly understand about the origin of these humanly sins and as to how did it become a practise and came into origin.
1.) Sati Pratha - The burning of the widow : Sati is described as a Hindu custom in India in which the widow was burnt to ashes on her dead husband's pyre or a wife immolated herself at the funeral pyre of her husband. Basically the custom of Sati was believed to be a voluntary Hindu act in which the woman voluntary decides to end her life with her husband after his death. But there were many incidences in which the women were forced to commit Sati, sometimes even dragged against her wish to the lighted pyre.
Sati in Hinduism thus means a woman fully dedicated to her husband and it was never a practice or a pratha during early days.
Some instances of voluntary self-immolation by both women and men that may be regarded as at least partly historical accounts are included in the Mahabharata and other works. Also, neither immolation nor the desire for self-immolation are regarded as a custom in the Mahabharata. Use of the term 'sati' to describe the custom of self-immolation does not occur in the Mahabarata, unlike other customs, such as the Rajasuya yagna. The self-immolations are viewed as an expression of extreme grief at the loss of a beloved one.
Though Sati is considered a Hindu custom, the women, known as Sati in Hindu religious literature, did not commit suicide on their dead husband's pyre. The first woman known as Sati was the consort of Lord Shiva. She burnt herself in fire as protest against her father who did not give her consort Shiva the respect she thought he deserved, while burning
