With regards to ordeal by fire, there is an interesting debate on
www.musicindiaonline.com you will find it in Tamil section. The judge
of that paTTi maNDapam brings out beautiful point: when Sri Rama is
out to fetch the deer, and the deer shouts out by name lakshmaNa, sita
does two things which are quite unfair a) She accuses lakshmaNa's
chastity and his devotion to his brother and throws fire like words at
him saying he may be having desire for her b) She threatens him that
she will make a fire out of the woods nearby and jump into it.  At the
end of the war Sri Rama reciprocates the same for two reasons,  a) to
reflect the there are consequences for what you say and do and b)
knows that sita herself is feeling guilty and provide her a way to 
get over it. Interestingly, he asks lakshmaNa to make the fire.

These tamil debates are solely based on kamba rAmAyaNam.  If you want
