In simple words
Unless the Court directs otherwise, the husband of a married trustee, administratrix or executrix cannot, merely in that capacity, be a party to a suit by or against her. The rule keeps the husband out of such suits unless the Court orders otherwise, since the trusteeship or representative office is held by the wife.
