Your original question was not for transfer of wife's share to a third person.
Now you are coming out with new question.
If wife wants to transfer her share in the property in favor of a third person, then she can sell her undivided share in the property by executing a registered sale deed.

If the wife needs NOC from the husband, the husband and wife divide the property into equal shares by a registered deed and then the wife can sell her 1/2 share to anyone.

What is the simple method of dividing the share of property..

They both can go for an amicable partition, if her husband is not agreeing for partition then she can file a suit for partition.
If the property is indivisible than the court may bring the property for sale and would distribute the consideration amount equally to both.
