Q125 (CISF/2020) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which one of the following is not punishable under the Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 ?

Explanation

The Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987, was enacted to prevent the practice of sati and its glorification. The Act specifies punishable offences under Part II:

  • Section 3: Prescribes punishment for the attempt to commit sati (imprisonment which may extend to one year or with fine or with both).
  • Section 4: Prescribes punishment for the abetment of sati. If sati is committed, abettors can face death or imprisonment for life.
  • Section 5: Prescribes punishment for the glorification of sati (imprisonment for 1 to 7 years and a fine).

The commission of sati (the completed act) is not listed as a punishable offence for the person performing it, as the individual is deceased upon completion. The law focuses on punishing those who attempt it, those who aid or abet the victim, and those who celebrate the act afterwards.
