Dear Ali, every custom in a religion comes out of a social situation. Suttee came because of muslim invasions over hindus.the women were raped and used as sex slaves.so it was felt that the women is no longer safe when her husband died.Now that is irrilavant in context to present situation.
Sacrifises were common in every religion during prehistoric days.why are goats on eed killed savagly for hours when being bled to death.
These things existed on individual bases.hinduism doesnot preach them.those people are rogues i accept. What do you call a religion which preaches you to marry 5 women just to gratify your sexual desire.Probably most of the muslims in our country are born to those helpless hindu women who were raped by those muslim invaders. The hindu religion preaches that sex is natural phenomenon.it is very mature and not priitive.where women are treated like pleasure articles canot go to mosque.cannot come out of house,cannot work,canot study. Are you born to vergin mary.ask your mother.
