Ruq could have paid the medicine woman to tell everyone she was pregnant. It was a bit suspicious how she conveniently got pregnant after Baba's prediction. She could also feign innocence and say she did this to stop Hamida from taking the trip and that she did not know the blame would fall upon Jodha. She could also very well say that was the reason she didnt want Jodha and her brothers to be punished and hence her ready nod when Jalal glanced at her in court after Hamida's plea.
Jalal would not then have to chop off anyone's head or burn them alive as history has no such story of him punishing anyone for causing Ruq's miscarriage. He will be furious but will forgive Ruq.
