The black beauty "Shoorpanakha" (King Ravana's sister) was insulted by Rama and Lakshmana. To her proposal of marriage, why did they not tell her that they were already married, why was she disfigured? The real reason of this was that Ravana had accepted Buddhist philosophy of nonviolence and opposed the killing of animals in Yajnyas. To revenge this Rama cut the nose and ears of Shoorpanakha who was much more beautiful than Sita herself.
No brother would have tolerated the torture of Shoorpanakha Ravana took away Sita to question Rama in her presence. At the time of "Swayamwara" of Sita Ravana was already known to Rama but still Rama kept on searching him. It appears therefore that to liberate Sita was his secondary aim and the main aim was to destroy the culture of non violence of Ravana.
Ravana kept Sita very respectfully in the Ashoka Watika and treated her with great respect as a guest and followed political protocol. He never tried to outrage her modesty or to rape her.
