Discrimination against married women
Name(s):
Active prejudice towards married women
Preferential treatment of unmarried women
Claim
With the astounding divorce rates and numbers of women choosing careers over wedlock in the industrialized world, the married woman is slowly joining the social ranks as a minority. Married women have been criticized by some for abandoning their independence and supporting patriarchal domination. It is a shame that marital status has become a public gauge of individual worth, intelligence and potential for happiness.
