(contracted; show full), a woman Ravana tries to molest. {{citation needed|date=August 2017}} After proving her purity, Rama and Sita return to Ayodhya, where they are crowned as king and queen. After a few months, Sita becomes pregnant, to which a washerman makes insensitive comments on Sita to his wife, which Rama in disguise hears. Rama then sends Sita away on exile. Lakshmana is the one who leaves Sita in the forests near sage [[Valmiki]]'s ashram. Years later, Sita returns to the womb of her mother, the Earth,
 for release from a cruel world as a testimony of her purity after she reunites her two sons [[Kusha (Ramayana)|Kusha]] and [[Lava (Ramayana)|Lava]] with their father Rama.(All this appears in Uttara Kānda which is considered as a later addition because Valmiki Ramayana is having only Six kāndas).
If we consider the story of Sita's banishment in the Uttara-Khanda of the Valmiki Ramayana to be true,then there is a reason behind it. 

In the fifty-seventh chapter of the “Patala Kanda” of the Padma Purana, we find a young and unmarried Sita is found being cursed to be banished by her future husband during her first pregnancy by two divine parrots from Maharshi Valmiki's ashram.

"3-11 That pair, enjoying (each other's company), quickly flew in the sky, settled on the lap of a mountain, and spoke (to each other): and spoke (to each other): "On the earth, charming Rama will be the king. His wife will be (a woman) by name Sita. The intelligent, powerful king, vanquishing (his enemies), will rule (over eleven thousand years. Blessed is (contracted; show full)o the water of Ganga graced with eddies. Due to his being angry, due to his being distressed, and due to his having insulted Sita, he obtained very (mean) sudrahood (as he was born as) a washerman named Krodhana. That best bird (or best brahmana) who, doing ill to the great, abandons his life through anger, obtains sudrahood after he dies. That took place. Due to the words of the washerman she was censured and separated. On account of the curse of the washerman, she was separated (from Rama), and she went 
into the forest.

So from this story of Padma Purana ,we come to know that Sita faced exile in the forest and separated from Shree Rama while she was pregnant, because of curse of divine Parrots. As a result,womb of her Mother Earth". (Which means she returns to her eternal abode Paramadham Vaikuntha).
So this  is the reason behind to abound her. Sri Rama didn’'t tryask her to prove Mother Sita's Purity again by Agni–Pariksha but rather exiled heragain her purity.
