"Ja, der Herr ist prinzipiell nicht schlecht."

Translation: Yes, in principle the gentlemen is not bad.

[cloudjubei]

Why is the translation:
"Yes, in principle the gentlemen is not bad."

"Yes, in principle the husband is not bad."
correct?

[Menschenkind]

For the latter: No. Husband = Ehemann.
