For Mrs.

Mrs. is a title of respect used before the surname or full name of a married woman. It is a formal abbreviation derived from the word "mistress," a historical title that, unlike "Miss," denoted marital status. "Mrs." is used regardless of the woman's age.

The use of "Mrs." indicates that the woman is married and has traditionally been a primary way to address married women in formal settings. The pronunciation is "miss-iz."

In modern usage, the appropriateness of using "Mrs." is sometimes questioned, as it emphasizes marital status. Many women, particularly in professional contexts, prefer to use "Ms." which does not indicate marital status. The preference is entirely personal, and it is generally considered polite to use the title a woman prefers if known. If the preferred title is unknown, "Ms." is generally considered the safest and most neutral option. The choice of title also depends heavily on cultural norms and individual preferences.
