Et uxor

Et uxor

Et uxor is a Latin phrase meaning "and wife". It is commonly abbreviated "et ux." The term is a legal phrase that is used in lieu of naming the female spouse of a male party to litigation. See for example Loving et ux. v. Virginia, and [ [http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/loving.html Loving v. Virginia ] ] . The term is regarded by some commentators as an anachronistic chauvinism, though it remains in contemporary use in American legal documents, especially as relate to property and marriage.
