From what I have heard and read, unconsciousness sets in pretty quickly so that it’s probably not as painful as it appears (not that I would want to test the theory).
It is certainly a spectacular way to die. I would imagine that it is very traumatic for younger family members.
Sad, sad...
On the other hand, the videos seem to be of women who have survived burning.
I can’t imagine anything more painful.
Yeah. I believe it's called a "stink-bomb."

Depends on what you mean by "pretty quickly". I understand it takes the better part of a minute. But you may not even lose consciousness if you don't use enough gas, or someone puts the fire out quickly.
Hold your hand in a gas stove flame (not above it -- in it). A second will suffice.
Every moment on fire is an eternity.
This is so horribly sad. Any culture that subjugates its women to the point where they set themselves on fire is unworthy of being called "human".
