That used to happen a century ago.
Indians live in the 21st century now can't say so about others.
Never to late, to revive if you want to be a real HIndu, a Hindu described by RSS and Modi g...which preaches Sati (burning women after husbands death) till today!
Anyway I can update you about India and Hindu practices in 21st century about curse of Sati date 19-Oct-2016:
'Curse of Sati': In this Mathura town of India, women avoid Karva Chauth fast to save husbands from death
According to a local myth, a newlywed bride, whose husband was murdered here, cursed this town. Now, most women believe that observing the traditional Karva Chauth fast will cost their husbands their lives.

- Women in Surir believe that Karva Chauth fast will lead to their husband's death.
- There is no scientific explanation for this sati belief.
- As per a myth, a newlywed bride, whose husband was murdered, cursed Surir town
THE MYTH
Local resident Suresh Chand Sharma narrated the tale to India Today. Sharma says a Brahmin youth from Ram Nagla village was passing through Surir with his bride in a bullock cart on Karva Chauth, when some locals alleged that he had stolen the bulls on the cart. They then proceeded to beat him to death.
Furious at losing her husband, the woman is said to have cursed the entire locality. The widow is said to have subsequently killed herself by committed 'sati' on her husband's funeral pyre, further fuelling the superstition.
SATI TEMPLE
Sharma claims that after the incident, a number of local women lost their husbands after observing the Karva Chauth fast. This cemented the belief that 'Sati' has cursed the town. Since then the women here refrain from observing any fast on Karva Chauth and have even constructed a temple of 'Sati' where they pray on Karva Chauth for the long lives of their husbands.
