The verdict contains all the facts and circumstances related to the evidence and the judge's considerations at the trial. One of the pieces of evidence is witness testimony. The position of witness testimony occupies the first position in the hierarchy of Article 184 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Then how can a witness who is still in a husband and wife relationship with the defendant be used as evidence?
