Nope. Suttee was outlawed during the Raj, and remains outlawed. It still happens, just like polygamy still happens in Utah. And it is just as illegal.

Suttee was outlawed during the Raj. . .

Suttee was outlawed by Sir Henry Hardinge, Lord Hardinge of Lahore, the very compassionate and very Christian BRITISH Governor-General of India.
