keeping maiden name after marriage
If a woman keeps her maiden name what is the proper way to address her?
Mrs, Ms, or Miss?
I have seen it done multiple ways, but am unsure what is the proper way.
Solution 1:
It is proper to refer her as Ms Smith (for example) regardless of her martial status. Since the woman in question kept her maiden name, I would opt for this title or use the appropriate occupational title (e.g. Doctor Smith, Professor Smith, Major Smith, etc.)
Miss is a title for an unmarried woman, and is not acceptable.
Solution 2:
Ask the lady how she wishes to be addressed.
