Hi,
What is a none working wife ? She maybe able to get a credit card depending on wether she has some sort of income from say investments etc. It depends on the provider. Maybe she could contact her bank.

Some times they take into consideration the house-hold income ??

Many cards have the option of "homemaker" under employment status and they then go on to count the household income.

Well, the husband is either a very bad MD who is no good with money or he is so selfish that he will not give his wife money to pay of the debt!
