Why Raavan Abducted Seetaa?
[From Valmiki Ramayan, 3/47]

When Raavan went to abduct Seetaa, he said to Her - "Although Raam was the eldest son of Dasharath  and was supposed to be the King, but Raajaa established his younger son Bharat as a King and Raam was sent to forest. Now see, what is He and who am I?"

Some commentators reason this as : "you are the Goddess Lakshmee, an inner-ruler in all beings...
(1) though Dasharath was uninterested to select Bharat, you made Dasharath, as his inner force, to select a spineless Bharat, and Bharat was established on the throne by Dasharath, through you...
(2)  besides, though Dasharath was disinterested to send his dear eldest son Raam to forests, you as Dasharath’s inner force made him to send Raam to forests - his the eldest, the best, and the only ruler of people, namely Raam, [as said in Vishnu’s Sahastra Naam] to forests for the elimination of Raakshas, and thereby releasing us from our accursed being... Hence you, as inner force of everybody, had to come to me also, if Raam’s incarnation is to yield its results."

Means if Raam's incarnation was to be successful then You (Lakshmee) have to come with me to Lankaa.
