Change the Title for all Women in the UK to be Ms - Abolish the title of Mrs
We kindly ask for the choice of titles for women given their marital status to be abolished, as such information is unimportant and not asked of from men or non-binary. We want the choice of titles on official documents to be changed to Mr, Ms or Mx.
Women shouldn't need to choose to hide their marital status by using the title Ms. Women are recognized to be their own person and have equal to men and non-binary. However for females to have to make the choice between Mrs, Miss or Ms is subconsciously pressuring them to think about marriage. This is a problem for not only women, but for everyone as is hinders the equality we strive for. Even if you the reader, are not a women think of your mum, sisters, colleagues & friends. Thank you

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions on which titles people use are a matter for individuals.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review the titles that people are able to select on Government forms and documents, if that's something you would like to happen.
