Wife is not a liable for any kind of liability that owns by husband even though u r guarantor

Please note there is different between guarantee and security.... If u r guarantor then u r safe in the case of being wife....

Greetings. Guarantor assures the bank for repayment of loans in the case of defaults. if you are a guarantor to the bank in your husbands loan, bank can ask you to repay the outstanding. have u signed the documents with bank at the time of taking loan?

Your question does not have ample facts however, based on what I understood you need to clarify how bank forced you? Generally speaking guarantors are liable to pay debt if principal borrower fails to pay debt. It is only after bank is unable to recover amount from the borrow it can go after guarantor to the extent of amount to be recovered from borrower. If you are still in marriage with your husband then your situation is even more precarious as in the eyes of law husband and wife are one. Therefore, if bank well placed to recover from you if your husband has failed to pay debt.
