Qadeem chain, hindostan aur europe mein yeh rasam aam thi ke
aurtain apne shohar ki chitta par jal kar rakh ho jati theen.
Mazhabi danshuro kehte they ke jo aurat shohar ke sath jal kar mar
jaye woh pakbaaz hai. Mard ke sath is ki biwion, ghoron aur doosri mehboob
ashya ko laash ke sath jala diya jata tha ya dafan kar diya jata tha. Taa ke
mard ko doosri duniya mein woh saari cheeze dastyab ho jayen jin se woh
mohabbat karta tha.
Kitaab' ' rigg vid' ' se pata chalta hai ke puranay zamane mein jab
shohar ki laash ko jalaya jata tha to is ki biwi ko barabar luta diya jata tha.
'' Satti' ' ki pehli yadgar mdhih pradesh mein Iran ( eran ) ke
maqam par hai. Yahan 510 ka aik kutba likha hua hai :
'' Bhano gupt is zameen ka shuja tareen ensaan aaya. Jo aik badshah
tha aur rarjin ki terhan bahadur aur dilawer tha. Aur gupt raaj ney is ka
itebaa kya.
Jis terhan aik dost, aik dost ka itebaa karta hai.
Aur is ney aik azeem aur mashhoor jung ladi.
Aur jung ki taraf sdhara, woh sardaro mein aik daiwata tha.
Is ki biwi jo farmanbardar, khush khaslat, khobsorat aur purkashish
thi is ke peechay peechay shulon ki agosh mein jal kar raakh ho gayi.' '
Satwen sadi eewsi ke insaaniyat nawaz shayar ban ney is rasam ki
muzammat ki.
Tanatri halqay is ko acha nahi samajte they. Unhon ney elaan kya ke
jo aurat apne shohar ke sath khud suzi ( satti ) ki murtakib hoti hai woh
seedhi jahannum mein chali jati hai.
