Hi Vivika!

Riya here!!

Ahalya-:

She was a very chaste and virtuous woman...wife of rishi Gautam...she was a huge pativrata but was tricked by Indra into making out with him as he desired her...he took her husband's form and tricked her and when her husband found out he cursed her as well as Indra. ...

Mandoodari:-

She too was a very virtuous pativrata woman. ...dedicated to her husband Raavan...she did whatever she could to keep him safe...she was so virtous that with the power of her chasity sge even got the Amrit kalash for him...married Vibhishan on Ram's insistance after Raavan's demise...

Tara:-

The wife Kishkindha's king Vali...another great woman who had warned her husband not to fight his Brother. ...she got married to Sugreev her brithet in law on Ram's insistance and became queen of Kiskindha again...
