Medical Certificate is a statement from a physician or other health care provider that attests to the result of a medical examination of a patient.
This is a document issued after a medical examination, which usually constitutes acceptable evidence in the court of law. Medical Certificate is a legal document and it can be challenged in the court of law.
Medico-Legal experts recommends the following guidelines regarding issuing of the medical certificate:
1. Never give it for more than 15 days.
2. See the Patient again after 15 days and reissue.
3. Even in repeat cases, make sure that he or she is the patient, identify the pt. By photo I. D. Card, and then issue. Not to the attendants.
3. Avoid issuing a certificate for diseases that you are not treating / or trained to treat. (Other Disciplines)

Can a doctor issue a death certificate for his spouse while she was under his treatment for some deasese?
Laws do not prevent the doctor to issue death certificate. My advice is to avoid issuing certificate to close relatives. Its a conflict of interest.
However as per the Registration of Births & Deaths Act, 1969, Sec 10 - (3) Where the State Government has required under sub-section (2) that a certificate as to the cause of death shall be obtained, in the event of the death of any person who, during his last illness, was attended by a medical practitioner, the medical practitioner shall, after the death of that person, forthwith, issue without charging any fee, to the person required under this Act to give information concerning the death, a certificate in the prescribed form stating to the best of his knowledge and belief the cause of death ; and the certificate shall be received and delivered by such person to the Registrar at the time of giving information concerning the death as required by this Act.

These are highly subjective administrative rules or at times based on the departmental rules or based on nature of the job
Please do consult a local lawyer, who is aware of these rules
