Option 2 : Lord William Bentinck

The Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, was a legal act promulgated in British India under East India Company rule, by the then Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, which made the practice of sati or suttee - or the immolation of a Hindu widow on the funeral pyre of her deceased husband - illegal in all jurisdictions of British India and subject to prosecution.
