Can the person having an affair sue the wife he is having an affair with?
Well that depends on what you are suing for? If she has caused physical damages to your property or to you then yes. Emotional distress, no sorry but as far as the court is concerned you kinda walked into that one and are there for equally responsible. For publicizing the affair, not unless you had a lawyer draw up an order of silence agreement prior to the affair and they signed it. In other words if the affair were made public and that caused you distress in any case you cannot sue her for damages. Now in cases of slander where she has said things publicly (not in private trust), that are not true about you, you may have cause for suit but be aware in such cases you will have to prove monetary damages caused by such and this can be extremely difficult. The court won't allow for award because you are mad and as I said before emotional distress isn't arguable under such circumstances and if the slander was made in what was believed to be in private trust by the defendant this would not be considered true slander which must be deliberate.
