Syllabus
<p>Witnesses — Competency—Divorced Spouses. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1214, providing that neither spouse shall be a witness for or against the other without the latter’s consent, “nor shall either, during marriage or afterwards, without the consent of the other, be examined as to any communication made hy one to the other during marriage,” a divorced wife is a competent witness against her former husband as to acts and facts occurring during the marriage relation, when her testimony does not involve communications made by him to her arising from the confidence induced by such relation; hence a wife, after divorce, may testify as to facts corroborating a charge of rape committed by the former husband on his stepdaughter.</p>
