6. A young man had a venereal disease called genital herpes. He had unprotected sexual relations with a young, married female co-worker but did not tell her about his disease. She later had relations with her husband, who became infected. The husband sued the young man for negligence for not telling his wife of the danger and being the cause of his wife passing genital herpes to him. The young man filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, alleging that the husband had no action against him because there was no legal causation. Will the court dismiss the complaint as a matter of law?
