The scriptures do not state that the devil has/had a wife. It is doubtful that he does, as the scriptures do tell us that in heaven we will be like angels neither marrying nor giving in marriage. The expression you state "The devil is beating his wife" is an expression referring to a lot of thunder being heard.

The Farmers Wife
The devil is not married. This is an old saying from where it is raining and the sun is also partly shining as well.
In Washington Irving's "The Devil and Tom Walker", Tom's wife attempts to extract a deal with the Devil by bringing him all of the silver in the Walker House. Things go very badly for Mrs. Walker and she is killed by the Devil. Tom, who never liked his wife, is happy she is gone and doesn't even trouble the Devil about the return of his belongings.
