THE RELIGIOUS LAWS OF THAT TIME WERE ANTI FEMALE.IF...IF...In spite of security arrangements, Sita was abducted,
and
ONLY after subsequent victory over Ravan, Ram could get her back.
The then, existing Dharmik(Religious) draconian law for females REQUIRED that Sita should successfully PASS the dreadful AGNI PARIKSHA test(WALKING THROUGH FIRE) to prove her chastity and piousness, and, only after success in test, she could legally STAY with Shri Ram as wife.
And to pass Agni Pariksha test, one needed skills. So what did Ram do?
Ram arranged practical lessons for Sita to teach her skills to pass the dreadful Agni Pariksha test. This was done in complete secrecy. And Sita did pass the dreadful Agni Pariksha test after victory over Ravan.
----------------------------------
The History of Avatars provides lot of Dharm, but Hindus are not getting the benefit of these. The reason being, that Sanskrit scholars and Dharm gurus are working overtime to ensure that these Dharm so clear, without any ambiguity, do not reach the masses. And to hide such Dharm, so clear from the history that is Ramayan, interpretation and interpolation is used to convert this into Adharm so that the Hindu society remains passive and can easily be exploited.
Most of the time supernatural powers are added in the characters to hide important historical facts and change the content all together. Once again, this is being repeated; no character in history ever, repeat ever possessed supernatural powers.
We will be discussing what transpired later after disfiguring of Surpnakha killing of Khar Dushan. Ravan started thinking about his possible options, because he knew how weak militarily, Lanka was under him, so direct confrontation was ruled out. Such things are not easy to hide and military strategists were also of the same opinion.
Militarily weak Lanka under the leadership of Ravan was not in a position to directly confront Ram. Some strategists were of the opinion that perhaps he might thing of kidnapping Sita.
Perhaps Ram also felt like this. Remember anticipation is an important part of human training and an important Dharm for humanity too. Even Valmiki and Tulsidas are clear about this that Ram anticipated that Sita might be abducted.
So what did Ram do? As per the present distorted version of Ramayan, Ram asked Agni Dev to keep REAL Sita and provide Chaya(shadow) of Sita instead. This distorted version was alright till we were not in information age, but not now.
In the first place there is no place for supernatural powers in history and secondly, much more important is the fact that this distorted version is showing that Ram is a Hypocrite.
Ram being shown as keeping the shadow of Sita is actually BLESSING the abduction of Sita. No, if one anticipates a possible event, every attempt is made to thwart it or ensure even if some success is achieved by enemy, the losses are minimized. Ram did exactly this, which is the Dharm for entire humanity.Ram taught Sita skills to pass the dreadful agni pariksha. Remember to pass agni pariksha, one needs SKILLS and NOT CHASTITY.
Secodly when Ram taught Sita skills to pass Agni Pariksha, HE gave a CLEAR message to the world and humanity; if HE could not protect Sita and she is kidnapped by Ravan, no matter what happens physically to Sita, Ram will take her back. Passing agni Pariksha was important so that Dharm ALLOWS Sita to stay with Ram.

Ram tightened the security around Sita, as much as possible for a person living in the forest, and also did try to visualize what would happen if by chance Ravan succeeded in abducting Sita.
If, in spite of security arrangements, Sita was abducted, and after subsequent victory Ram could get her back, the then existing Dharmik(Religious) draconian law for females would NOT have allowed Sita to be the queen of Ayodhya, as she would then be required to pass the dreadful Agni Pariksha test. And to pass Agni Pariksha test, one needed skills. So what did Ram do?

The distorted version of Ramayan has INTERPOLATED this, using supernatural powers that Ram asked Agni God to securely keep Sita and provide Shadow of Sita instead.
DO WE NEED THESE DISTORTIONS NOW?
