* Nanny Ogg from the ''[[Discworld]]'' novels. She's had three husbands, "and that's only the official score." A jolly old woman with a lot of children, [[Really Gets Around|mostly by said husbands]], it's unlikely she did anything to get rid of them. (It's also not clear how many of them are dead. Sobriety Ogg is, but in ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'', Death comments that witches are matrilinear because they find it easier to change men than change names, possibly suggesting the traditions of witchcraft include quickie divorces.)
* In ''Snow White and Rose Red'', by [[Patricia C. Wrede]], the Widow Arden fits this.
* In ''[[The Sun Witch]]'', the Fyne sisters are cursed so that their husbands die.
