The Spouse - Killing is a crime in which a husband or a wife kills his or her marriage partner. In this crime not only one partner but in fact the whole family will be considered as the main victims of the criminal act. The reason is that the lawful
punishment will have negative psychological effects of guilt not only on the criminal and the children of the family as will. They may feel completely hopeless and disappointed, and as a result find some motive for deviance and criminal acts.
