Ah, yes ... culture ...
General Charles James Napier, the Governor of India, had this to say about the Hindu culture of Suttee ...
You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
