foreign spouse
Non-native married partner
A foreign spouse is a husband or wife who is a citizen of a different country than their partner.
The term appears frequently in immigration contexts, where laws govern how citizens can bring foreign spouses into the country: Her foreign spouse needed a visa to join her permanently.
The phrase emphasizes nationality difference rather than anything about the marriage itself.
