Is it valid in eyes of law because the main purpose of various provisions is that the auditor must be independent . but threat of self review is exist here.

Not only company auditor subject to disqualifications but also tax auditor is also subject to similar disqualifications to protect the interest of government revenue.
Kindly check section 288(2) of income tax act,
Since spouse comes under the definition of relationship, he is disqualified to become tax auditor
