Why is it masculine?
Mari (husband) is masculine in French because it derives from the Latin "maritus" (married man/husband), which carried masculine gender in Latin's grammatical system, and French inherited this gender assignment along with the word itself. This is a straightforward case of gender preservation from Latin rather than following any productive French rule.
