Why did society feel it was important to signify whether a woman was married or not?

We had “Miss” for unmarried, and “Mrs.” for married (or widowed or status that had to do with having once been married.) I remember when the preface “Ms” was coined in the 70s, and I’ve used it ever since.
WHY was it important to signify a woman’s marital status…but not a man’s?
