Can you be forced to testify against yourself in court?

Answer 1

In state court, you could not be compelled to testify in a state that recognizes your same-sex marriage, but you could be compelled if the state does not recognize your marriage. In federal court, you could not be compelled to testify regardless of whether the state recognizes your marriage, according to an announcement made on February 8, 2014, by United States Attorney General Eric Holder.
