If you are able to contact the lender, ask him about a means to deliver the money to him. If he permits you to pay the debt to his wife, then do so; otherwise, you do not discharge yourself of the debt. However, if there is no means to contact him, then it is permissible for you to return the debt to the creditor's wife, due to the impossibility of reaching him.
