It is the duty of the king to ensure justice . If Sita rings the justice bell there is no way Ram can deny it saying , u r the queen I am only responsible for the welfare of praja and not yours . So I am not the person u have to come up to with your problems . King has to listen to everybody . The king was the primary head and decision maker . The banishment of Sita sets a very wrong unjust precedence before the society . That victim has to be outcasted from society . As I said in my previous post, if Sita's banishment were to be true , one can only conclude that Ram Rajya had no place for a grieved woman. If someone rapes u , dishonors you the king and his kingdom will outcast you instead of giving you protection and sheltor .
It is only in Ramananda Sagar's Ramayan that I have seen that Sita herself made this decision of leaving Ram and Ram wanted to accompany her. Whatever I have heard and read Sita had absolutely no clue that she was going to be banished . Ram asked it is important to fulfill the wishes of a pregnant woman , therefore ask any wish. Sita says she has been wanting to spend some time near the ashram and asks Ram to take her somewhere like that for few days.
Next day Laxman tells Sita that Ram has ordered him to take her to the forest and Sita thinks it is pertaining to her wish that Ram is sending her to some ashram. She doesn't know that she is banished from Ayodhya . Her right eye twitches and fearing it to be a bad omen she prays to god to protect Ram . She didn't even know it is upon her that misery is falling.
Infact I remeber there was a chapter in my ncert hindi textbook stree shiksha ke virodhi kutarko ka khandan , where after getting to know from Laxman Sita says some katuvachan which was then used to come to a conclusion that education makes a woman arrogant .
I am currently in Bal Kand and I would surely like to read uttar kand on my own to know if Sita knew about her banishment or not .
Nevertheless whether uttar kand is true or not , Sita knew or not , the whole banishment of a pregnant woman on the basis of character proof is unjust, unfair and sends a wrong message to society . Something I can never accept and come to terms with
