no not kidding at all. for once i also thought may be the wife is lying. but as i said we all bumped into a very unexpected situation, and i got chance to speak to wife’s mother too. Mother told me same stuff about him. she added that the day she has married off her daughter to this man, she has not slept peacefully a single nite. 
Islam is not that strict that it wont allow daughters to hug their fathers. this is would be highly CRUEL if anyone doesnt let her. Prophet MOhammed PBUH would love his daughter too much and he would kiss her on her forehead. Just quoting something here :
“Fatimah had a strong resemblance to her father, the Messenger of God. Aishah. the wife of the Prophet, said of her: “I have not seen any one of God’s creation resemble the Messenger of God more in speech, conversation and manner of sitting than Fatimah, may God be pleased with her. When the Prophet saw her approaching, he would welcome her, stand up and kiss her, take her by the hand and sit her down in the place where he was sitting.” She would do the same when the Prophet came to her. She would stand up and welcome him with joy and kiss him.”
Oh yeah… his wife is expecting. I hope its gal 
and does such husband worths your life, love, time ???
I dont know what you mean. but I hope u do not mean something EXTREMELY CHEAP.
