That's a joke right? I mean, maybe he should have known better. Sexism is sexism, religiously sanctioned or not.

Why should she have to accept his societal standard that he not touch women he isn't related to; why shouldn't he make the exception and grant her the same respect he grants her husband, by her own cultural standards?

Well, he could have been honest and said 'My religion prohibits me from touching you', but that would have made him look foolish, which he is.
