delivered the Opinion of the Court.
By order dated March 31,1983 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals certified four questions to this Court. Before setting forth the questions, a brief history of this case is necessary.
On August 5,1979 appellant, Mary Lou Clark, while a passenger in an automobile owned by Mary Jane Foss, was injured in an automobile accident. She subsequently instituted an action against Rhonda R. Queen, the driver of the automobile in which she was a passenger.
At the time of the accident in question, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (State Farm) insured Rhonda Queen through two liability insurance policies issued on automobiles other than the one involved in the accident. On June 2,1980 State Farm filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the District of Montana seeking to have the court declare that State Farm did not insure Rhonda Queen for the August 5, 1979 accident. It contended that Rhonda Queen was excluded from coverage while driving a non-owned vehicle. State Farm named as defendants Rhonda Queen, Mary Lou Clark and her husband Dale R. Clark. The Federal District Court ordered, pursuant to motion for summary judgment, that the policies excluded Rhonda Queen from coverage for the accident in question. From this order, defendants Mary Lou Clark and Dale Clark appealed. The following issues *64were thereafter certified to this Court by the Circuit Court of Appeals:
1. Must this policy be construed to provide coverage for Rhonda Queen while driving a non-owned automobile, on the ground that the policy is ambiguous as to whether Gary Queen, Rhonda Queen, or both, are the first-named insured?
2. Where the named insured are listed in the manner described above, is extrinsic evidence admissible under the Montana Parol Evidence Rule to prove the intent of the parties regarding who is the first-named insured?
3. Was State Farm required under . Sections 61-6-103(3), 61-6-136(1), 61-6-301 to provide non-owned automobile coverage to Rhonda Queen after she ceased to live in the same household with the first-named insured in the policy?
4. Must this policy be construed to provide coverage for Rhonda Queen while driving a non-owned automobile where the insurer has a policy or practice of listing the husband as first named insured and the wife second on its insurance policies, on the ground that such a practice constitutes discrimination based on sex in violation of the Montana statute pertaining to illegal discrimination, MCA, Section 49-2-101 et. seq., or other Montana law or policy?
Three members of this Court hold that the insurance policy in question contains an ambiguity which must be construed against the maker of the policy, thereby affording coverage for Rhonda Queen under the first certified question. However, we are not able to agree with a majority that coverage can be afforded under any single proposition. The fourth member of our majority concurs specially, holding there is coverage under issue 3. Thus we have four votes for coverage but no consensus on any one issue.
The policy in question affords coverage for the use of “non-owned” automobiles” to “the first operson named in the declaration”. The policy declaration lists the following as insureds:
*65Queen, Gary
A. and Rhonda R.
Box 145
Rt. 2
Ronan, Mt. 59864
The insurer is responsible for the language which the policy contains. Wherever a contract of insurance is drawn so that it is fairly susceptible to two constructions, one favorable to the insured and the other favorable to the insurer, the one favorable to the insured will be adopted. Park Saddle Horse Co. v. Royal Indemnity Co.(1927), 81 Mont. 99, 261 P. 880, 883-884.
There are several different ways that State Farm could have listed the persons in the declaration so that the first person listed would present no ambiguity. The names could have been listed as: Gary Queen, Rhonda Queen. Less clear but perhaps sufficient to avoid an ambiguity would be: Gary Queen and Rhonda Queen. Though the names are here coupled, Gary Queen’s name does appear first. However, in the instant policy, the first-named is simply “Queen”. Following the last name the names Gary and Rhonda are coupled. This would seem to indicate an intention on the part of State Farm to grant no preference to one of the individuals as a first-named insured entitled to coverage on non-owned automobiles.
One test for determining whether a policy is capable of more than one construction is whether different persons looking at the writing in light of its purpose cannot agree upon its meaning. Walker v. Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company (1967), 268 F. Supp. 899, 901-02. This case is a perfect illustration. The dissenters think the policy clearly shows Gary Queen as the first person named in the declaration. The three members of the Court signing this opinion think that the last name of the couple is the first name listed in the declaration and the first two names are coupled together making both parties first named in the declaration. We have seven Supreme Court Justices, who fre*66quently review insurance policy language, closely divided in interpretation. What more need be said.
In conclusion, the declaration sheet of the insurance policy contains an ambiguity which must be construed against the maker of the policy. We find there is coverage for Rhonda Queen.
