See the explanation below

The law behind the release of medical information.

According to the HIPAA Privacy Rule at 45 CFR 164.510(b)

"specifically permits covered entities to share information that is directly relevant to the involvement of a spouse".

However, as a professional, you are not supposed to release information of a patient to an unknown person, in such a case the patient must approve of this first before you go ahead to give it out.
