  1. Point of correction she is not ms muntemba she is a married woman.Mrs……………….. or maybe in the police service when a woman is married she remains a ms please make me understand this.

  2. Bwana Mapenzi Mudenda, in trying to make a viable correction you have ended up confusing yourself further. Nevetheless, the usage of MS does not mean one is not married. According to gender classification, MS means one is either married or not. follow closesly now. the word MISS means in gender terms one is missing something and not that one is single. And when the word MRS is used it means one is owned by MR.
    Now lets put this way again.
    MS = married or not.
    MISS = has none
    MRS = owned by MR
    So in conclusion the best is to use the word MS. I hope wanvela naiwe uphunzise banzako.
