\nOption C is correct. Section 122 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 provides privilege for communications made between husband and wife during marriage. However, it explicitly contains exceptions. The privilege does *not* apply in “suits between married persons”, or in “proceedings in which one married person is prosecuted for any crime committed against the other”. A case of matrimonial dispute between them is a “suit between married persons”, where such communications can be admitted as evidence.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Communications between spouses during marriage are generally privileged and cannot be compelled or permitted to be disclosed without consent.
\n– This privilege is subject to exceptions, including legal proceedings directly between the spouses or where one is accused of a crime against the other.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The privilege continues even after the dissolution of the marriage.
\n– The purpose of this privilege is to protect the privacy and confidence of the marital relationship. However, this protection is lifted when the dispute is between the spouses themselves or when one harms the other.
