💨 Abstract

A special court in Jaipur has acquitted eight individuals in a 37-year-old case related to the glorification of Sati, a tradition where a widow immolates herself on her husband's funeral pyre. The court gave them the "benefit of doubt." The incident occurred in 1987 in Diwarala village, Sikar, when Roop Kanwar reportedly burned herself alive.
