Candide’s Punishments, Do the Fit the Crime?

If it was just a Kiss
The book says that Candid and Cunegonde kissed and that their hands strayed. I think that the punishment was disproportionate to the crime if this is all that happened. I think that getting kicked out of the castle was a bit extreme for kissing since it has no noticeable negative effect on the others. Also, The two characters, Candide and Cunegonde, seemed like they were of age to make their own choices. I guess that in that time in history, the custom/tradition was not like that of today's and people were more conservative back then.
Did Cunegonde get punished? All she ended up with was boxed ears. I think that she is at as much fault as Candide is. She should have also have been kicked out of the castle.

If it was more than just a kiss
If the book implied that it was more than a kiss, then I think that both Candide and Cunegonde should have been kicked out. If they were doing something more extreme, for an example, fornicating, then I think that have been kicked out for being indecent. After all, this took place in a very accessible area- behind a screen, right after leaving the dining table.
