If this is a burn mark, then yes, its going to need to be sanded out... if this table has a veneer tho, you wont have enough depth to the veneer to be able to sand out the burn mark.
If this mark is a white blemish... then it is only moisture trapped in the finish. I find that a hair dryer is a handy tool to remove moisture blemishes from furniture. Set the hair dryer to low heat setting, and gently blow it back and forth across the blemish.... this will warm it up enough to help the moisture evaporate. Do not let it blow too long in one spot, or it can damage the finish. Using this technique Ive been quite successful at removing moisture blemishes with no need to strip the finish, or sand it down.
Good Luck

If you can't take the mark off the table, you can make more of the marks intentionaly all over the table following a pattern. In designing this is called
'all over pattern' . That will make your table a conversation piece and you would not call your wife silly but initiator of great designs.

With all due respect; I won't attack your command of or use of the English language; BUT I see you have answers regarding a solution to the burn scars. Your question however (AS WRITTEN) suggests something different.
Certainly as written; your question (obviously a cultural issue) describes some respect; or lack thereof; for your wife; not at all for a solution in repairing a table.
The repair suggestions are obvious and valid. The deeper issue is not something we can help with in a DIY category.

Had just the same problem a few weeks back. The only way is to sandpaper the mark back to the original wood colour and then re-apply whatever polish or varnish you had on the table originally.

Ahh, I did this to boyfriend's dads table with a pizza box, we wiped it with a cold wet towel, and polished it loads with everything we could find and turned the table round, worked a treat!

It depends on the "mark".
Is it a white mark where just the varnish has been damaged or is it the wood?
Perhaps you can find an answer at the following website.
Good luck.

Try 4 0000 steel wool in a circular motion,lightly. if this works well you might reseal table top with tung oil.
