No suit for debt can lie between husband and wife, father and son, and brothers of undivided interests. Cultivators and Government servants cannot be apprehended during working hours for debts contracted by them. The wife is not as a rule liable for the debt of her husband even if it be acknowledged by her, except in the case of debts due to herdsmen and cultivators.²
