It depends on what version of Ramayan is being used. Sita in Tulsi Ramayan is more of a soft princess who was just Ram's follower so to speak. Sita in a Valmiki Ramayan is a very strong character who had a lot of self pride. That's why she did not agree for second Agni Pariksha and refused to go back with Ram. There are other literary works where Sita was shown to be quite a fighter.
Also the reason for that test by Janak- Sita's father was because Sita herself had lifted Shiv's bow. So he vowed that a husband of Sita has to be stronger than her. If she could lift the bow when she was a little girl, her husband should be able to do that. Remember nobody except Ram was even able to lift Shiv's bow. So Sita was a warrior princess. It is another thing that she is always shown in TV serials as this weepy character who is helpless.
Raavan had raped his half brother Kuber's daughter in law, but was never able to even touch Sita. Does not that tell that Sita was a very strong character?
So I actually like this depiction rather than what is usually shown. Of course, just commenting based on a single picture. In reality, they may show Sita as somebody else. TV serials can not be trusted when it comes to depictions of characters - mythological or historical.
In serials after serials, we get references of Sita and Savitri to justify the typical maahan weeping TV serial bahus. Neither Sita nor Savitri were weak characters. They were actually quite strong women who lived life on their own terms even when circumstances were not best.
