Well...I feel really sorry for those people who think like that...
If Shiva wanted to save Sati from the Vikarma law he could easily do that by marrying her...even her father emperor Daksha wanted the same...he just wanted to save her daughter from the cruel law but he wanted to unchanged it for the rest of people...he told that to Shiva that he is the Neelkanth, the prophesied savior of the Meluhans...if he wanted something no laws and codes could stop him. But instead of taking advantage of his being the Neelkanth he chose to banished that law from the society forever...remember when Sati was hit by the Agni Vaan...emperor Daksha came to see her. There he proposed Shiva for Sati what he readily agreed and then he asked the emperor about the law. When Daksha said that wouldn't be matter Shiva clearly clarified that he didn't want any favour...he want a fair and equal law for all. After that Daksha asked his prime minister to make necessary papers to banish that law from the royal and noble families but Shiva protested and said he wanted to end that law for everyone from every class...that proves Shiva didn't do this for Sati only...
And the most important fact is if Shiva did that only for Sati...Sati wouldn't marry him...he knew how much dignified and self esteem did Sati have??? She wanted Shiva's love with respect first and then his love with care, affection, support etc...remember why Sati became very happy when Shiva agreed to let her fight with Tarak at Karchapa???...because that day he didn't want to protect her but having trust and faith on her skills and ability he support her for he trial of fire..and by that way he paid his due respect towards her...that was the another reason Sati couldn't pushed Shiva back for long...
And another point is...if I take that Shiva did everything for Sati...then the pain he felt for the other vikarmiks and in Karchapa when he touched Drapaku's father's feet to take his blessings...did these all feelings derived in him only for Sati???
If yes then I must say love is very powerful weapon...it changed a person within a moment...
