First of all we have no rights to beat each others.
Secondly the story is silly and provoking subject, she would've slapped him and put an end to the issue.
I have a son and a daughter, if my daughter do this then my duty is to make her understand and give a oppurtunity to settle it down positively.
If my son did the nasty thing to his wife and I will be the fisrt one to slap him with interest, so that he cannot repeat it.
But in this story, the girl's father was annoying.
