Correct Answer: 1829


Solution : The correct answer is 1829.

Sati was officially banned in India through the efforts of social reformers during the British colonial period. The practice of Sati, which involved a widow self-immolating on her husband's funeral pyre, was declared illegal by the British East India Company in 1829. Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General of India at that time, issued a regulation known as the Bengal Sati Regulation, making the act of Sati punishable by the criminal justice system.
