I agree that since she is his first mughal wife, and since she has not really committed a crime as such , she cannot be severely punished . However , Jodha is also Jalal's wife and the love of his life . I feel that by cunningly demanding a baby from Jodha by misusing her weakness , Rukaiya has committed an act equal to crime . Separating a mother from her child with vile motives is an emotional crime towards both the mother and child .Rukaiya's ignoble , evil intentions behind demanding a baby itself , are worthy of punishment . So Jalal SHOULD punish her. Punishing her would actually protect and upkeep the royal dignity , so that other ladies in the harem never ever think of repeating a horrendous act like hers'. By punishing her , Jalal will prove that nobody including begum-e-khas will be spared for wrong doings .
