Well if the man sitting oposite of the husband was a computer programmer he could still hit him if a bump in the road knocked him off balance. (You are not supposed to hit priests you know)

Is it relevant that the priest (man opposite of the husband) is a man? (i.e. could it be a woman, boy or a girl?)
