Yes, the client can take exemption by purchasing a new house on his wife's name. However, if the property is purchased with the share of another person, then exemption will be available on the share of property she/he invested for his amount as per the partnership deed.
However, as per the Manoj Gupta reply, sec 54 exemption is available even if the property is purchased with wife's name.
