There is much more yogic to these esoteric stories than the power of chaste women. Nearly every woman who is made to undergo "agni-parixa" that Sita underwent will be reduced to ashes regardless of her pati-bhakti. That should warn us not to take these stories literally.
What a bizarre statement. Are you trying to suggest that the moral of these stories is that women should immolate themselves in fire to prove their devotion to their husband? Seriously?
