उत्तर

Governor General Lord William Bentinck passed a law for the abolishment of the practice of sati due to the efforts of Raja Ram Mohan Roy.

Explanation:

Raja Ram Mohan Roy was born in Bengal. The experience of witnessing his brother’s wife immolating herself on her husband’s funeral pyre (she followed the custom of Sati), perturbed him very deeply. Roy published a letter about the evil practice of Sati. He was the first Indian to point out that none of the Indian religious texts mentioned the practice of Sati as a prescribed religious obligation. It is because of his efforts that a law was passed by Governor General Lord William Bentinck, abolishing the practice of Sati, in 1829.
