I'm not sure you understand why Helen was in Troy in the first place. In the myth, she was abducted by Aphrodite and given to Paris as a bride because she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world in exchange for his awarding her the Golden Apple.
In truth, I think the movie "Troy" captures what is a more likely event: Paris was younger, and likely much more desirable than was Menelaus, King of Sparta. Even though Sparta of the Bronze Age is nothing like the Classical Sparta we think of, Helen had no choice in who she married, so running off with the young Trojan Prince would have been something a spirited young woman might do.
So, as you see, her "deserving" had nothing to do with it.
