Wife’s ante-nuptial debts and liabilities

(1) A woman, after her marriage, shall continue to be liable for all debts contracted, and all contracts entered into or wrongs committed by her before her marriage, including any sums for which she may be liable as a contributory, either before or after she has been placed on the list of contributories, under any Act relating to joint stock companies, and she 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. (2) All sums recovered against her in respect thereof, or for any costs relating thereto, shall be payable out of her separate property and, as between her and her husband, unless there be 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.
