Adalind sank to a new low by trading her daughter for a hexenbiest spirit. On the other side of the coin, Adalind proved by renegging on the deal that her word really isn't worth squat.
So she should have gone ahead and given them Diana because she was forced to sign a contract? Her word is more important than realizing what she did was wrong and taking steps to protect her child? What she did was wrong but I think her integrity would have been completely lost had she gone through with the contract.
Whenever I question 'right' versus 'wrong' in Grimm, I'm generally told that this is a fantasy, so the rules followed in real life would not apply.
Adalind's greedy obsession led her to Austria where she demanded a new hexenbiest spirit. A woman was murdered, Adalind went through a filthy and disgusting ritual and signed a magical contract to seal her side of the bargain, which was her baby in return for the biest spirit.
So technically, in view of a fantasy setting, should she have given up her baby? Why not? She herself threatened to term the pregnancy if she didn't get her way. She's a witch, following a magical contract should be second nature to her. In the witchy world, there should be no room for changing her hexenbiest mind *but* still acquiring a new hexenbiest spirit in the process.
What's the point of being a hexenbiest if she's simply going to change the rules to suit herself? I would imagine her fellow hexenbiests would not look kindly upon her actions.
No one knows what the magical contract actually said. It could have said that Diana needed to become Z wife.
I still say Juliette getting a hexenbiest was far more unbelievable.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
