For 3/20 Wife of Bath's Tale

Okay, so I only have one problem with this tale. Personally speaking, I rather enjoyed it and I think the Old Hag is an amazing character. It's always great when the Old character manages to outsmart the younger ones, and have them do exactly what they want without the younger ones realizing what just happened until it's too late (only if the old character is funny/nice/ a good person in general, otherwise they're the creepy, assholish character and that's unacceptable).

So as for my problem with this story, it's that the knight got everything in the end - a happy ending. He ending up with a beautiful, wise wife, who would stay faithful. What the fuck? He raped a maiden at the very beginning of this, his punishment was to figure out what women want, and once he finds it thanks to the old hag, he gets his happy ending by giving her sovereignty over her body, which never should have been an issue???

Yes, I get that he learned his lesson, and that he shouldn't take away someone's control of their own body and future, but still what about the maiden from the beginning? Where's her justice? Can you imagine what she must be thinking or feeling when she finds out that he was never executed, instead was sent out to find out what women want (probably smirked when she found out he was forced to marry an old hag), but then he gets a happy ending, and she's a young, defiled woman? What about her future??? This is the biggest problem I have with the story because the young maiden is literally just used as a prop to start the knight on his punishment quest and she never receives her justice.

Also, food for thought, but would the old hag have told him the answer if she knew why he was on this quest? He never states why he's on the quest, just that he has to get the answer or his life is forfeit. Or what if she finds out during their marriage? She already said she'd be his beautiful, faithful wife, but what would happen if she learned the truth? I somehow doubt they would remain happy.
