Trimc: Though it was not seen in "on camera", you can rest assured that Elsa, as the Sovereign Queen of Arendelle, dealt with the usurper Hans directly. It is only by her command that he can be exiled or put to death. He was exiled, after all he did, and her choice to let him live demonstrates a tremendous restraint and exceptional forgiveness (study 19th century European laws and you'll agree).

Keep in mind that forgiving him is one thing and shipping him is a separate thing; y'all seem to be hung up on the "forgiveness" part and ignoring that no matter how forgiven he is, the implicit trust needed for true love simply isn't there.

You are correct in that forgiveness is divine; only God in His eternal wisdom can determine if his repentance is true. Neither Elsa or Anna is a deity; they will deal with him based on their known history with him, and that is... negative to say the least.
