Clause 118

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 obligations arising out of such contract will be satisfied out of her own property, such person shall be entitled to sue her and to the extent of her own property to recover against her whatever he might have recovered in such suit if she had been unmarried at the date of the contract and continued unmarried at the execution of the decree.

The husband shall not, in the absence of special stipulations whereby he has made himself responsible as surety, guarantor, joint contractor or otherwise, be liable to be sued on such contracts.

Nothing herein contained shall annul or abridge the liability of a Muslim husband for debts contracted by his wife’s agency, express or implied.

Such liability shall be measured according to the law for the time being in force in Singapore.
