Ali, who worked in a plywood factory in Kochi, was later shifted to the government hospital with minor injuries.
Begum, whose husband passed away two years ago, had been living with Ali.
Both went to Assam two months ago where a quarrel broke out between them.
Begum soon returned to Perumbavoor and Ali arrived in Kochi on Thursday.
Ali, who met Begum on Sunday, apparently attacked her in a fit of rage.
However, the exact reason is yet to be ascertained.
The accused has been booked under section 103(1) {murder} of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
