Unsourced material in "The Enforcement of India's 1987 Sati Law" section

There is a lot of unsourced material in this section. There are also speculative and/or subjective statements, such as "...unless immediate countermeasures are taken at many levels, the prevalence of Sati in these locations is likely to continue and may even occur more frequently," and "The society viewed it as an honour to deny a woman her rights because she is "dependant" on her husband..."

Someone should either clean up this section or removed the unsourced material. If nothing happens and no one replies here, I will delete the unsourced material myself in a few days. Indigotwelve (talk) 20:24, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Self-contradictory article

Info under the headings "Origins and Spread" vs "History" contradict each other. Info is divided into 2 separate chapters for no reason and thus out of order. Should be reordered into 1 section (History). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1812:1126:5D00:C8E1:6C83:9962:178A (talk) 11:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
