‘A wife can voluntarily testify against her husband, but she cannot be forced to”

I am not an attorney but I thought spousal privilege applies to EITHER one of the two and could be invoked by either one or both.

To: Cyman

yes, you are correct it applies to husband or wife

A person cannot be COMPELLED to testify against a spouse (but they can if they want to)
