Here the liberty does not exist.

The term for "madame" is always used. The term for mademoiselle may be used in formal settings, with high status / age differences. (A boss in reference to his secretary; a school teacher in reference to one of his / her young pupils).

So we assume in speech that no matter what, all women are married. Even in divorce papers :?.
