Yes, for married women.

Miss indicated that a woman was unmarried. Mrs indicated that she was. Ms was added to behave like Mr in that it doesn't indicate marital status.

It was invented to hide the distinction between married and single women. How do you know all the women you’ve met as Ms X are single?
