A review of the literature highlights some confusing and problematic terms used when discussing single, never married women. Many researchers have failed to distinguish between single women who are never married and women who are divorced, widowed, separated or cohabitating. The term ‘single’, which is commonly used in the literature, does not describe whether a woman has ever been married (Martin, 2001). In addition, the terms never married, not married or unmarried may infer the same meaning, but reflect a deficiency or negative perspective, that is, the lack of marriage.
In my study, the term used is ‘women who have not married’ which refers to single professional Malay women who have never been married before.
