Can a Woman's Tears Cause Harm?
Question
What is the power of a woman’s tears, especially when she is extremely distressed? We are talking about great pain and humiliation. There is much emotional suffering, not physical. This involves significant crying.
Will the person who hurt this woman experience any suffering because she cried due to him?
Answer

In Tractate Baba Metzia, Rav stated, "A person should always be careful concerning the affliction of his wife, as her tears are often present; thus, her affliction is close by. This is very dangerous since the punishment for such matters occurs even in this world." Best regards - Binyamin Shmuli
