We show that application of magnetic field causes in bulk wurtzite ZnO the optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) at energies of 2s/2p(A/B)-excitons in the Voigt geometry for B⊥k∥[0001], where SHG should be forbidden in the electric-dipole (ED) approximation. Investigations of magnetic- and electric field, temperature and azimuthal dependencies of SHG intensity allow us to deduce that this phenomenon arises from the higher order magnetic field perturbation known as magneto-Stark effect for excitons. This pertubation transforms like an effective electric field and leads to admixture of exciton wave functions of different parity and thus to resonant SHG enhancement.
