Formally, a dependent clause should not split an adverbial from its 
sentence, so far as we can tell.

If you did it anyway I don't think anyone would care.

And adverbials are said to come at the front of a sentence, not in front 
of a verb's object, so who knows? Maybe *paq vIlaDtaHvIS jIHagh* is the 
sentence, and you can put an adverbial in front of THAT.

Focus on that, rather than on what's "right" and "wrong." It's not down 
to right and wrong.
