	I feel that the divine lord is very merciful.  If only mother 
Sita had not taken the Agni-parkshi and Lord Rama had accepted then would 
we have recognised her as a Great Pativrata and given that distinct place 
in our culture.  Rama who is the divine in form 
wanted to show Her Greatness and hence I feel that he took to this action.

Who can but only the one who one with him understand His actions?
