Sati Act was passed in the year
  1. a.1856
  2. b.1829
  3. c.1729
  4. d.1929

Answer: (B) 1829

Lord William Bentinck's Regulation XVII of 1829, backed by Raja Rammohun Roy, made sati illegal. 1856 is the year of the Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act, a frequent confusion, and 1729 and 1929 are unrelated.
