The entire context is within the bounds of Christianity, and I'd be beyond shocked if you can convince me from a Christian aspect how taking what he can get, murdering his wife, and leaving his children to others while rotting in prison would ever be endorsed in Christianity.

What Christianity does offer as an option: "It is good for a man to not touch a woman." So you're asking in a Christian context whether or do something explicitly endorsed or willfully committing multiple sins, well that's an easy conclusion.
