S_rocha, I suggest you read the real Valmiki Ramayan before making these kinds of posts again. If you read the real Valmiki Ramayan, your "so called doubt" would be erased.
In the very same Valmiki Ramayan you claim to read, Shri Ram tells Sita after her Agni Pariksha that he never doubted her, and his love for her is even greater than her love for him. Sita was a daughter-in-law of the Raghukul, the wife of Rama, the daughter in law of King Dasharath and the daughter of King Janaka. There is no doubt of her chastity and virtue. Yet, befoe she ascended the throne of Ayodhya, she had to prove her innocence to the world, not to Shri Ram, not because there is any doubt of her chastity, but because people had to be convinced of the purity of their Queen.
Shri Ram knew beforehand (through his experience as a kshatriya) that the people of Ayodhya would doubt Sita's virtue since she was in Ravan's kingdom for 10 months. Ramji did not want any complications for his beloved wife, that's why the Agni Pariksha had to be done.
Why don't you for once read Ramji's explanation to Sitaji after the Agnipareeksha, instead of reading only half of everything, and forming your opinions.
Who in the world told you Shri Ram did not care for Sita? Are you out of your mind? Are you crazy? They are the epitome of a loving couple. Ramji and Sitaji are the eternal pair, forever together. Ramji never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever doubted Sitaji, and any Ramayan which says Ramji did not care for Sitaji is false, completely utterly false.
And don't you dare say it says so in Valmiki Ramayan. Half the members in this forum have Valmiki Ramayan. We do not base our info from Anti-Hindu sites.
As for the so called "excuses" you gave that people come up with in support of Ramji, they're all true. Ramji exiled his beloved wife not because he believed what the praja said, but because he had to fulfill his Dharma as a King. You will not understand that Dharma, because you are thinking with the mindset of a modern person. Think like a person living in Treta Yug, and you will understand.
And I doubt you ever heard the concept of Chaya Sita. It is in Ramcharitmanas, or Tulsidas Ramayan. Before Sita was kidnapped by Ravan, Ramji entrusted her to Agni Dev and kept the shadow form of Sitaji, or Chaya Sita. Sita's powers due to her chastity were so strong that Ravan would have burned had he laid one hand on her. To kill all the Rakshasas in Ravan's family, and not only him, Sita had to be kidnapped, but the real one. Her Chaya was kidnapped by Ravan.
Later on, the Agni Pareeksha was done to reclaim the real Sita from Agnidev.
