👉 Mariticide is a legal concept that refers to the act of intentionally causing or contributing to the death of one's spouse, partner, or other intimate partner. This can be committed by any person who has been married for more than six months without proof of consent from their spouse. The term "mariticide" was introduced in the 19th century and is often associated with the idea that marriage is a sacred institution where individuals should not engage in acts that could potentially harm their partner.
