Karma is the idea that your actions have direct or indirect consequences. Jacob steals his brother's blessing by imitating him and taking advantage of his old, poor-sighted father. Laban tricks Jacob into marrying his eldest daughter by sneaking Leah in on his wedding night with Rachel. (How in the world Jacob doesn't realize this is beyond me.) Its Esau's sweet revenge if you think about it from Jacob's perspective.
However, poor Leah is stuck with a "husband" who never wanted to be with her. Interestingly, the retribution is for her to conceive sons. The same gender that put her in this ridiculous situation. What a world!
