The third exception to the rule is that a wife or husband shall be competent to give evidence either for the defence or prosecution, in the offences laid down in the Theft Ordinance: Theft Ordinance (Cap 210) s 31(2). In criminal proceedings, a husband is not compellable to disclose any communication made to him by his wife during the marriage, or a wife is not compellable to disclose any communication made to her by her husband during the marriage: Evidence Ordinance (Cap 8) s 54(1).
