Clause 53

A woman after her marriage shall continue to be liable in respect and to the extent of her separate property for all debts contracted and all contracts entered into or wrongs committed by her before her marriage, including any sums for which she is liable as a contributory, either before or after she has been placed on the list of contributories under and by virtue of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 174).

Such woman may be sued for any such debt and for any liability in damages or otherwise under any such contract or in respect of any such wrong.

All sums recovered against such woman in respect thereof or for any costs relating thereto shall be payable out of her separate property.

As between such woman and her husband, unless there is any contract between them to the contrary, her separate property shall be deemed to be primarily liable for all such debts, contracts or wrongs, and for all damages or costs recovered in respect thereof.
