@LeChevalier Wikipedia calls it married name. Is the marital name a better option?

@daddylangl Thank you.
Can I ask, does a married name refer to the full name or just the last name, after marriage? Thank you.

It’s called “her married name”. I’ve never heard “marital name”.
My friend’s maiden name was Claire Woods. She married John Smith and her married name is now Claire Woods Smith or Claire Smith.

Marital status designates whether you’re single, married, divorced, separated, widowed, etc.
What’s your marital status? I’m now divorced.
Please give me your marital status. I’m a widow.
