Spouse in Malayalam
There is no gender-neutral word for spouse here. ഭർത്താവ് (bharthaavu) is the husband, the man a woman is married to, so it answers only half of the English word. Malayalam does have neutral terms built on the word for marriage, and they are not on this list.
Most common translation
Husband, the man a woman is married to, a spouse.
ഭർത്താവ് ജോലിക്ക് പോയി.
bharthaavu jolikku poyi.
The husband went to work.
