Uxoricide
Act of killing one's wife or girlfriend
Uxoricide
Uxoricide is the killing of one's own wife. It can also be used in the context of the killing of one's own girlfriend. Conversely, the killing of a husband or boyfriend is called mariticide. It comes from the Latin uxor meaning 'wife' and -cide, from caedere meaning 'to cut, to kill'. Though overall rates of spousal homicide have declined in the US since the 1970s, rates of uxoricide are significantly higher than rates of mariticide.
