According to M. Aldrich (Arabic vs Arabic. A Dialect Sampler, 50) most of the dialects he lists refer to زَوْجَتي. However, Tunisian, Syrian, Bahraini, and Yemeni prefer the word you refer to. A website says there are at least five words for wife: https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the/arabic-word-for-48eda733f81c96587ed209509223237e151e5ce6.html I wonder if one of them, قَرينة / qarina, comes through contact with Spanish?
