that simply means he's a tharki. he couldnt even resist in front of his spouse and he thinks of her as nothing so doesnt care what his actions are as he knows he can get away wid anything he does. he needs a good lecture and to be notifyed that this is not happening again.
Does that imply that he should resist only in front of his spouse but not in her absence ? If he does it in her absence than is he still a tharki (whatever that means) ?!
