So
in this society a man can only have one wife, while a woman can have multiple husbands
Society D allows polygamy for both men and women.
Well let’s see consider them one by one.
For any society to survive and be healthy, it is very important that it’s children are taken good care of, so that they can grow up to be healthy individuals and positively contribute towards the welfare of the society as a whole.
Raising a human child is very difficult; it involves almost 20-year commitment on behalf of the parents.
A child who gets attention from both his mother and father is expected to grow up to a healthier and more intelligent compared to a child with single parent.
This by no means justifies the practice of Sati, but it also does not mean that only Indian culture had stupid traditions, all cultures have some bad practices.
In fact Mughal emperors Akbar, Jehangir and Aurangzeb took actions to ban Sati practice.
If you look at Ramayana and Mahabharata you can see many pious women who lost their husbands and did not perform Sati.
There was never an institutional system in place to enforce the practice of sati; it was mostly a cultural practice that gained prominence by itself.
Also we must understand that the practice was not generalized all across India, instead it was confined to just few specific regions in the country and isolated to specific groups of people.
In the old times people were not just concerned with their affairs in this world, but also the next and therefore people were always worried about their actions and its consequence in the next world
