Yeah that does make sense^ but it still does not make any sense that women have Mrs and Miss, almost as if it's for men to tell if women are married or not..

why isn't there something for women to tell that about men?

What is the Japanese translation of Miss?

Miss/Mr./Mrs is best represented as the suffix -san at the end of a name. Just like how Miss/Mr./Mrs. is used at the beginning. For the word Miss itself, then ojou would be the best for a unmarried woman that you don't know the name of. So you would use ojou-san, or ojou-sama, the latter being more formal. You would not use ojou-chan, because the suffix -chan signifies that you KNOW this person and you know them VERY well.
