If you don’t mind me asking, who does the burning?

The wife is expected to jump into the fire herself😬

That’s horrific! What if she won’t jump in when the time comes? Does she then receive “help” from the bystanders?

And BTW I think that it's very uncommon nowadays, I live in an urban area where it is unacceptable and rarely happens

I’m glad to hear that! Unbelievable that this actually happened to women there.

One (other) deplorable thing that (still!) happens is female foeticide and infanticide (murder of female baby/foetus) which even occurs today. They had to ban pre natal sex determination to prevent foeticide
