wife

Read a random definition: controversy

A quick definition of wife:

A wife is a woman who is married to a man. This means they have promised to love and take care of each other for the rest of their lives. Sometimes, a woman can also be a common-law wife if she lives with a man and acts like they are married. However, it is not okay for a husband to hurt or abuse his wife in any way.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A wife is a married woman who has a lawful husband living. It can also refer to a woman who contracts an informal marriage with a man and then holds herself out to the community as being married to him, known as a common-law wife. In the past, it was also used to refer to a concubine.

Examples:

  • My friend's wife is a doctor.
  • John and Mary have been living together for years and consider themselves common-law husband and wife.

The first example illustrates a traditional marriage where the woman is legally married to her husband. The second example illustrates a common-law marriage where the couple has not gone through a formal marriage ceremony but still considers themselves married.

Note: The term "wife" can also be used in the context of polygamous marriages, where a man has two or more wives. However, this practice is illegal in many countries.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
