Rejected petition Abolish the use of the title 'Miss'

More details

The government should abolish the use of the term 'Miss' in relation to any female who is over the age of 18. All women over the age of 18 should be referred to as 'Mrs'. No man has to tell people his marital status every time he tells someone his full name, so why should women be defined by their marital status?
