Justification of Kaikeyi's Actions in the Ramayana

Kaikeyi's insistence on Rama's exile was crucial for the unfolding of significant events. The Supreme God incarnated in response to the prayers of gods distressed by Ravana. If Kaikeyi had not insisted on Rama's exile, the series of events that followed, including Sita's abduction, would not have occurred. Without Sita's abduction, Ravana's defeat wouldn't have happened. Thus, Kaikeyi's actions were instrumental in the divine plan.
