For the most part, I don't think Candide's punishments suit his crimes. Kissing his cousin wasn't even a crime and he was kicked out of the castle. Then he was beat and tortured and watched Pangloss die all for reasons beyond his control (or just things he didn't know were considered wrong). I think these punishments were obviously ridiculous as a way of Voltaire pointing out that this is just how the world works sometimes. Bad things happen to people that don't always deserve it.
There is one exception. Candide killed Don Issachar in self defense, so that's okay. However, he does deserve punishment for killing the Grand Inquisitor. He didn't have a good reason to commit this crime and deserved to have to leave Cunegonde.
Haha okay I agree since in the beginning candide was just ignorant and/or oblivious
