A Darwin woman who fatally stabbed her husband, who had taken out a domestic violence order against her, has been sentenced to nine years in jail for his manslaughter.

Jasmine Raymond, 20, was drunk when she stabbed 35-year-old Selwyn Green four times with a knife as they walked past Shennanigans in Darwin's Mitchell Street one evening in August 2013.

Green was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital but died that night.

A Supreme Court jury last year found her not guilty of murder but guilty of Green's manslaughter.

"You intended to hurt and cause injury... but (did) not intend to cause death or serious injury to him," Justice Barr told Raymond during sentencing today.

He noted Green had taken a domestic violence order out against Raymond, which specifically said she should not approach her husband when drinking.

He said if Raymond had obeyed the order, she would not have stabbed the victim.

Justice Barr said Raymond had shown remorse.

She will be eligible for parole after four years and nine months.
