Can a flat owner's spouse be a valid candidate for election of the office bearer in housing society?

An Associate Member (a person with joint ownership whose name does not stand first in the Share Certificate) for whom the Original Member has not issued a No-Objection Certificate cannot contest the Election. Co-operative housing societies follow the model bye-laws, which are comprehensive and prescribe a number of rules and procedures for elections.

No. The spouse of a member is not entitled to contest Managing Committee election(s) in a Cooperative Housing Society.

Any suggestion depends upon the law under which the Society is registered?
