Someone wants to use an image of mine for a t-shirt. The problem

that it's a portrait of a stranger and her child (about 1 year old)

took about 5 years ago while just walking through a local street fair.
I've contributed nature and animal photos before, put never people
shots
(without permission). In short, the question is, can I really sell
this
photo for usage without permission from the person in it? I guess I'm
picturing a hilarious (albeit unlikely) event of the person eventually
coming across someone wearing a tee-shirt with THEIR photo on it. How
weird would that be?
Don't even think of doing it unless you want to risk the lady in the
picture owning your house and car.
