CHAPTER III—GENERAL RULES AS TO CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY.
17. Compulsion by husband.
A married woman is not free from criminal responsibility for doing or omitting to do an act merely because the act or omission takes place in the presence of her husband; but on a charge against a wife for any offence other than treason or murder, it shall be a good defence to prove that the offence was committed in the presence of, and under the coercion of, the husband.
