Wikipedia description:
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'.
