Section 122
Liability on her own contract
(1)
If a Muslim married woman possesses property, and if any person enters into a contract with her with reference to such property or on the faith that her obligation arising out of the contract will be satisfied out of her own property, that person is entitled to sue her and to the extent of her own property to recover against her whatever the person might have recovered in such suit if she had been unmarried at the date of the contract and remained unmarried at the execution of the decree.
(2)
The husband is not, in the absence of special stipulations whereby he has made himself responsible as surety, guarantor, joint contractor or otherwise, liable to be sued on such contract.
(3)
Nothing in this section annuls or abridges the liability of a Muslim husband for debts contracted by his wife’s agency, express or implied.
(4)
Such liability is to be measured according to the law for the time being in force in Singapore.
