Drop women’s marital status titles for gender indication title only
Why should a woman have the to describe her marital status in all aspects of life from a doctor registration to bank account application.
It is archaic. A women's place in society is no longer dictated by her marital status.
Current marital status title's for women:
Miss – unmarried
Mrs – married
Ms – divorced
Propose to replace with Ms only to indicate a female.
This is aligned with Mr to indicate a male.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Not all of the situations in which people are asked to give their title are the responsibility of the Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking for all government agencies to stop using marital status titles for women.
