A form that has boxes for Mrs./Miss/Ms. hardly forces women to choose 
anything than their preferred salutation. Believe it or not, there are 
still otherwise modern women in the world who subscribe to the 
"old-school" notion of distinguishing between married and unmarried 
status. In my opinion, it is totally ridiculous to assume that all women

would prefer to use "Ms." or any other salutation to the exclusion of
all 
others. That some forms provide for all salutatory options merely
reflects 
the (perhaps unconscious) desire of the forms designer to appeal to the 
largest audience possible.
