the person who opened the account. (wife,husband). for example. if the wife had registered the credit card, she would be responsible for anything that has to do with the credit card. unless, the husband damaged or took over the credit card account. who ever's name the account is under is held responsible. If one spouse refuses or will not pay debt they are not forced to, however they will check if the other spouse is willing to pay. either way one will have to pay or take hold of the credit card. Then someone will be forced to or both may have to come up with an even amount of money.
