Can the primary account holder add one more holder to the same account without consent of second holder?

It would depend on the terms and conditions of the account and what the account is about.
Generically speaking, it may be that the second account holder shares the account equally with the primary and therefore both have to approve changes to the account. Alternatively, in many cases either of the primary account holders has full privileges to do anything without the knowledge or consent of the other.

Is a secondary credit card holder resposible for debt?
Depends on what "Type" of Credit Holder you are. Here is how that will go: If you are what is known as an authorized user on the account. (i.e. - The Primary account holder has given you permission to make charges on the account), the answer is No. The primary account holder is responsible for any charges he/she has allowed you to make on the account. If you are a Secondary account holder (i.e. -your name was put on the account APPLICATION at the time the card was applied for), then your answer is YES. If the Primary account holder defaults on the account, then the credit card company will turn to try and collect from the Secondary account holder. BEWARE of becoming a secondary holder on anything that has to do with credit. If you know that the Primary holder may default, you could get stuck with a huge amount of debt on your hands, and if you can't pay, your nice credit score of 783 could very quickly go down the drain to 535 or lower.

Absolutely not. Credit card companies/banks would never consider taking such action. It would constitute fraud and would be a criminal and civil offense. There might be a rare instance where one spouse has signed the other's name to an account w/o their knowledge. If this is an issue it is definitely subject to dispute by the innocent spouse.
