The importance of the present study stems from the problematic nature of the marital relationships and their societal dimensions that stimulate some wives to murder their husbands with intention in Egypt. Hence, the question of this study runs so: What are the motives and societal dimensions that stimulate the wives to kill their husbands in Egypt? In order to find answers to this main question, the study makes use of the diagnostic and analytical approach with its two aspects: the qualitative and quantitative. That is to realize the aims of the study and to identify the dimensions of wives' violence in the Egyptian society in addition to determining the factors that produce violence in the Egyptian family. The study also adopts the comprehensive investigation and scanning of the statistical crime reports of the public security administration associated with the ministry of internal affairs in Egypt in the period from 1985to 2008. This helps in counting the rates of the crime, defining its types, classifying it in general and familial, and comparing it with the crimes of 'murder with intention'. The field study is carried out in Al-Qnater Al-Khairia prison for women, taking into consideration this prison as the main prison for female criminals. The study also employs the so-called 'depth interviews' in order to apply the questionnaire as the main tool capable to identify the daily life aspects of the case under study and its familial history. The field of study was carried out in the period from July 2009 to December 2009 in Al-Qnater Al-Khairia prison for women. The writing down of the report took a period of time from January 2010 to July 2010. The study emphasizes that the reason behind the increase in the crime ratios lies in inequality in the distribution of economic resources. Such cause is the main factor in committing both the crimes motivated by money gain and violence. The results of the social surveys reveal that the murdering wife affiliates to the lower social class with the ratio of 83.33% of the total crimes that reach 30 case. 10% of those murderers belong to the upper lower class and 6.67% belong to the middle class. The latter are only two cases. The study arrests that 53.33% of the female murderers do not have a work and 46.67% of them have service works.
