This man's action is a grave abomination, and adultery is a major sin. His act with a married woman magnifies the sin, potentially leading to her divorce. He must repent sincerely. As for the rights of people, it suffices for him to increase his good deeds and pray for her husband and relatives. He must pursue the path of righteousness and avoid the snares of Satan.
