So there’s muslim women who prefer not to shake hands with the opposite sex and politely take a step back and apologize when such an opportunity arises. But then there are other muslim women who do and that’s alright; it’s a personal choice. But what’s with the men who don’t want their wives to shake hands with the opposite sex but it’s perfectly in order for them to not just shake hands but hug women as well? What is this rubbish?

Without knowing anyone like that and without additional context from you, here’s one explanation I can think of–perhaps he feels he is doing it out of necessity while there is no such perceived necessity for his wife to do it.
