Sati system according to vedas

Sati largely misunderstood 
i don't know who started it and how it became popular 
but i am damn sure its not in the vedas 

What they say : sati was been done by rajput queens .. (Half truth) 

what they do not say.. :

Queens were been taken as slaves when the kings die and they were been raped day and night by So called Islamic Invaders like Allauddin khilji so in order to save their chastity queens would jump inside the fire so that they can escape from clutches of Barbaric invaders. 

For example 

During the invasion of Muhammad al-Qasim), invariably numerous women and children were enslaved. The sources insist that now, in dutiful conformity to religious law, 'the one-fifth of the slaves and spoils' were set apart for the caliph's treasury and despatched to Iraq and Syria. The remainder was scattered among the army of Islam. At Rūr, a random 60,000 captives reduced to slavery. At Brahamanabad 30,000 slaves were allegedly taken. At Multan 6,000. Slave raids continued to be made throughout the late Umayyad period in Sindh, but also much further into Hind, as far as Ujjain and Malwa. The Abbasid governors raided Punjab, where many prisoners and slaves were taken.

Sati is used by many leftists in order to bash hinduism and Brahmins. 

So the supportive arguments of so called feminists. 

It was quoted by sita agarwal "Genocide of women in Hinduism"

She wrongly Quotes Rig veda : 10:18:07

In order to support her allegationsShe also states from smritis and puranas.. 

When confusions happen then vedas alone should be taken as final authority. 

DOES VEDA MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SATI PRACTICE ?

Verses from rig veda

imā nārīravidhavāḥ supatnīrāñjanena sarpiṣā saṁ viśantu | anaśravo'namīvāḥ suratnā ā rohantu janayo yonimagre || R.V. 10.18.07

7. Let these unwidowed dames with noble husbands adorn themselves with fragrant balm and unguent. Decked with fair jewels, tearless, free from sorrow, first let the dames go up to where he (the deceased) lies.

So here it is mentioning unwidowed women with their husbands still alive who are related to the deceased — all of them are instructed to go up to the funeral pyre. The widow then lies down beside her husband and then the brother-in-law says;–

udīrśva naryābhi jīvalokam gatāsum etam upaśeṣa hi | hasta grabhāsya didhiṣaos tavedam patyur janitvam abhisambabhūtha || R.V. 10:18:8

“ Rise, come unto the world of life O woman: come, he is lifeless by whose side you lie. As far as your married life to the one who seized your hand and wooed you as a lover is concerned - you have lived it out completely.

It was a custom that the woman lie down beside her husband’s corpse and then the brother-in-law would take her hand and raise her up with these words – to return to the world of life.

Atharvana Veda also mentions remarriage of widows:

Yā pūrvam pati vittvāthānya vindate’param | Pañcaudanaṃ ca tāvajaṃ dadāto na vi yoṣataḥ || AV 9:5:27

A woman who having realised the Primordial Lord of the Universe takes another man as her husband, is never separated from the Divine, along with her [new] husband if they surrender to God.

Samāna loko bhavati punarbhuvāparaḥ patiḥ | Yo3jaṃ pañaudanaṃ dakṣiṇājyotiṣaṃ dadāti || AV 9:5:28

He who surrenders to God, and is adorned with generosity to all, being the second husband of the re-married woman attains to the beautiful Lord as does his wife. Atharvana Veda 9:5 27 - 28

Look , what Lord shiva says about it..
It's said in mahanirvana tantra to devi parvati

bhartrā saha kuleśāni na dahet kulakāminīṁ || tava svarūpā ramaṇī jagatyācchanna vigraha | mohād bharttuścittārohāt bhaven naraka gāminī ||

O Kuleshani, a wife should never be burnt with her dead husband. Every woman is your image – you reside, concealed in the forms of all women in this world. That woman who, in delusion ascends her husband’s funeral pyre shall surely go to hell. (M.N.T. 10:79-80.)

Check out what Mr man(u) has to say about sati paddhati

9:146. He who takes care of his deceased brother's estate and of his widow, shall, after raising up a son for his brother (by niyoga), give that property even to that (son).

So all that Smriti and Pauranic stuff about Sati can be discarded 

To support my further Arguement this is what lakshmi tantra says about Women

Lakshmi Tantra (Chapter 27) :–

na smaret kāminīnindāṃkarmaṇāmanasāgirā| yatrāhaṃtatra tattvāni tatrāhaṃtatra devatāḥ|| 62 ||

A yogin (dharma practitioner) should never abuse a woman, either in deed, speech or thought. Wherever I am the realities are, wherever I am the gods too are.

.When a faultless maiden has been married to a man who has a blemish unknown (before his marriage), and does not repair to another man (after discovering it), she shall be enjoined to do so by leer relations. If she has no relations living, she shall go (to live with another man) of her own accord.

(96.12th title of law ,by narada )

 When her husband is lost or dead, when he

has become a religious ascetic, when he is impotent, and when he has been expelled from caste: these are the five cases of legal necessity, in which a woman may be justified in taking another husband.

(97. 12th title of law ,narada )
