| - Le Bengal Sati Regulation ou régulation XVII, promulguée le 4 décembre 1829 dans l'Inde sous la domination de la Compagnie des Indes orientales, est une loi initiée par le gouverneur général des Indes Lord William Bentinck, qui a rendu la pratique du sati ou du suttee illégale dans toutes les juridictions de l'Inde et passible de poursuites. Cette loi est considérée par les autorités coloniales britanniques comme la disposition juridique ayant mis fin à la pratique de Sati en Inde, des analyses historiques ultérieures démontrant son instrumentalisation pour asseoir la domination de la Compagnie des Indes orientales et de l'empire Britannique en construisant le mythe d'une religion hindouiste construite sur l'idolâtrie et la pratique du sati, sous l'impulsion de missionnaires évangéliques.

| - The Bengal Sati Regulation, or Regulation XVII, in India under East India Company rule, by the Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, which made the practice of sati or suttee illegal in all jurisdictions of India and subject to prosecution. The ban is credited with bringing an end to the practice of sati in India. It was first major social reform legislation enacted by the British in India and one part of the reforms enacted by Bentinck. The ban was enacted by Bentinck after consultation with the Army administration found there was little opposition to any ban. The most prominent campaigners to end the practice of sati were led by British Christian evangelists, such as William Carey, and Hindu reformers such as Ram Mohan Roy. The opposition came from some conservative Hindus led by Radhakanta Deb and the Dharma Sabha who saw the ban as an interference in Hindu religious affairs and violation of George III's Statute 37, which had assured Hindus complete non-interference with their religion. This resulted in a challenge to the decision to ban sati in the Privy Council, but the ban was upheld with four of the seven privy councillors supporting the ban. (en)
