Well..first off I don't think you can compare emotional ties between people to physical monetary assets, but that's just me.

As for him "breaking his vow", possibly, sure. I'd guess you'd say the same if he was thinking about another (adult) woman instead of his step-daughter as well, as that would be the same "breaking of the vow". Is he being dishonest to his wife? I can see it, sure. Is that something that should be legislated against? If his wife finds out about his thoughts, and there's a familial rift caused or a divorce or any other sort of unrest in the family because of his thoughts, that's the family's private concerns.

The fact is we don't make laws against thinking certain things. Being dishonest with his wife? Sure. Breaking his vow that he took with marriage? Fine, sure. Future marital problems due to his thoughts? Sure.

Anything to do with the law? Nope. He hasn't done anything illegal. Just gross.
