Is it acceptable to call one’s wife by a shortened name that resembles a man’s name?
Conclusion: there is no reason why you should not address your wife as Maalik or Malik, or whatever is the norm in your language, by way of showing affection and omitting the final sound, or by way of shortening the name, so long as that is acceptable to her and is normal according to your customs. And Allah knows best.
