Meaning
A married man — and, very often in Jamaican relationship talk, one carrying on an affair outside his marriage. 'She a deal wid a married man' warns that a woman is seeing someone else's husband, a fraught and frowned-upon situation. The phrase carries the weight of the drama, secrecy, and blame that surround such affairs.
