husband–wife privilege

Read a random definition: LOI

A quick definition of husband–wife privilege:

Husband-wife privilege is a legal right that allows spouses to keep confidential communications between them during their marriage. This means that they cannot be forced to testify or reveal information about these private conversations in court. It is a type of marital privilege, which is a privilege that allows spouses to protect each other from testifying against one another in criminal cases.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Husband-Wife Privilege is a legal right that allows spouses to refuse to testify against each other in court and to prevent others from testifying about confidential communications made between them during their marriage. It falls under the category of marital privilege.

Example: If a husband and wife are involved in a criminal case, the husband cannot be forced to testify against his wife, and vice versa. For instance, if the husband is accused of stealing money from a bank, his wife cannot be compelled to testify about any conversations they had regarding the theft during their marriage.

Explanation: The husband-wife privilege is based on the idea that spouses should be able to communicate freely and honestly with each other without fear of their conversations being used against them in court. This privilege only applies to confidential communications made during the marriage and does not extend to any criminal activity that occurred before or after the marriage. The purpose of this privilege is to protect the sanctity of the marital relationship and encourage open communication between spouses.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
