Social Titles

British Social titles include Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss. Some of these, for example Mrs or Miss, have been customarily associated with your marital status.  However, there is no legal restriction on changing your social title and it is perfectly possible for a single woman to take on the title of Mrs, without getting married, as it is possible for a married woman to take the title of Miss or Ms.
