In legal pleadings, one often sees a man's name, identified as a party to a lawsuit, followed by the Latin "et ux." or "et uxor" meaning that the man, his wife, and their marital community are all party to the suit. There is not, to my limited knowledge, an equivalent for men, likely because such a form of suit (by or against a wife and, more generally, against her husband and their marital community) was exotic if not impossible.
