بیوه

Also known as widow madam

A widow (female) or widower (male) is a person whose spouse has died and who has not remarried. The male form, "widower", is first attested in the 14th century, by the 19th century supplanting "widow" with reference to men. The adjective for either sex is widowed. These terms are not applied to a divorcé(e) following the death of an ex-spouse.

AI overview

A widow is a woman whose spouse has died and who has not remarried, while a widower is the male equivalent. These terms matter because they distinguish people whose marriages have ended through death from those who have divorced or are still married.
