Thank you Dear Mr. Philip.

One more thing i wanna ask.

Which one is correct.

Mrs. (Husband Name) or Mrs. (Actual Name)

[in our region , both are correct.]

It used to be that you wrote "Mrs. Robert Smith" to Mary Smith, wife of Robert, and "Mrs. Mary Smith" only if Mary and Robert had gotten divorced.

That convention is just about never followed any longer. You can do either -- although a woman of my mother's generation may want to see Mrs. Robert Smith, most younger women would prefer to see their own name.

However, Ms. Mary Smith

Hi,

The whole topic of name conventions in a country/culture can be confusing and rather complicated.

eg In Canada, if Mary Jones marries Tom Smith, she will typically end up using one of these names.

Mary Jones

Mary Smith

Mary Jones-Smith
