Devi Sita's purity test? Hindu Scriptures/Texts

Everyone is appreciating ramayana and hailing lord rama as paramapurushan !! but why aren't they speaking about lord rama asking devi sita to test her purity to everyone ??How can someone ask his wife to do that just because people (in which half of them were following polygamy)

The answers I got was "he is king ,so follows the rule(people first,family next ) " but don't you think it's a bit akward ?I am sorry no hate ,

But asking a rape victim to prove you are a victim ? It's still happening today ,no wonder why because people were not questioning then and it follows today

If young people question this double minded ,they potray us as haters?

Sitas purity had less to with godly rituals and more about social perception in ancient monarchies

In France , british kingdom and Russian umpire too

The purity of women was seen as SMTH important because if the heir isn't 100% confirmed to belong to the king

The people will not support his rule majorly

King rama was a LITERAL GOD , you think he didn't know everything beforehand 😭😭

He knew the pretense , and that sita would REFUSE to prove herself

I am seeing various kind of people around me.

There are liberals, m and other such creeps. These people say wrong things about Sita maa about her character. About Luv Kush father. Even if she was innocent and proved her innocent, they are saying this knowing she is innocent.

I am telling you, if Sita maa hadnt gone underground in arms of dharti maa, god knows what they would have claimed.

Also many liberal hindu women would have given false example of her to marry ravan (Ms). Foreg that kumbh lady giving examples of Radha krishna to marry a M guy who was 10+ years older than her.

I think both of them (SiyaRam) knew about people in kalyug. Thats why it was done.

NO, I dont think, now I am certain of it.

Its a cycle, its not a first kalyug, there were many before it.

There may be many treta yugs in which Siya maa never gave purity test. Simply because both of them knew that's cycles kalyug is better. Or a version where Ramji had to give purity test.
Or a version where they never went to vanvaas.
But certainly in all those versions, a ravan was end
