Petition Details

All government agencies to stop using marital status for women.

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.

Additional Information

A women's place in society is no longer dictated by her marital status.

Requesting marital status on all applications/forms has no relevance and the government agencies should update this archaic practise and be brought in line and equal with men, where only a gender acknowledgement is required.
