Best Answer

The accepted rule is to use miss in reference to a young woman who appears to not be married. It is not used in reference to a widow or a woman who has been divorced. According to the Cambridge dictionary, Ms. can be used to refer to any woman, married or not, as a sign of humbled respect.
