Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

Can I sue the husband and/or wife, for money that the wife owes me, before they were married. In other words, a woman owes me a sum of money (BEFORE SHE GOT MARRIED) however. she has since got married and even thought I know I can win a case against her, she may/may-not be able to return the money she borrowed from me, however I know for sure that her new husband has the assets to pay me.

Can I legally sue both of them?

No. He is not liable for her debts.
