(حصانة زوجية (تقضي بمنع أي طرف من استدعاء أحد الزوجين للإدلاء بشهادته ضد زوجه
Explanation:
In the law of the United States, the spousal privilege comprises two separate privileges, the marital confidences privilege and the spousal testimonial privilege. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spousal_privilege

It is very clear in the above context that spousal privilege here means "spousal testimonial privilege" which means:
The spousal testimonial privilege (or spousal immunity) can be used to prevent any party in a criminal case from calling the defendant's spouse to testify against the defendant about any topic. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spousal_privilege

So I think the meaning here is immunity ..
