Always relatives or family members should not be the attesting wittnesses to the will.
Augustine Chatterjee,New Delhi (Advocate & Solicitor at Law) 08 August 2016
She may be the attesting witness. People cannot be expected to ask random strangers to attest their signatures on wills. As such the said witnesses must be people who are reliable and trustworthy and hence the wife shall stand to be an able witness to the will.

Choose two people whom you trust and who are not family members and that you expect to outlive you. You should not just choose someone unknown to you unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes your witness may have to testify that your will is valid, to the best of their knowledge, which frequently happens when a third party challenges the validity of a will. It is best to have a related party to provide a better sense of assurance that trustworthy people were involved in the creation of this important document.
