[QUOTE="Scorpio, post: 7976, member: 4"] In [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/resources/categories/chishona.26/']chiShona[/URL] culture [I]mvana[/I] is a woman who has a child (or children) out of wedlock and is still single—not married; or a woman who happens to be a divorcée whilst at the same time having one child (or more). Bear in mind the word itself "[I]mvana[/I]" is often thought of as derogatory. I suppose this may be due to how some people use it. Now here are other title names referring to the current status of a woman [I]muChivanhu[/I] ("Shona culture"): [TABLE] [TR] [TH]English[/TH] [TH]chiShona[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Married woman[/TD] [TD]Mudzimai, [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/resources/mai-mwana-and-baba-bhoi.156/']Mai Mwana[/URL] (or mukadzi wemunhu)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Widow[/TD] [TD]Shirikadzi[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Maiden (virgin)[/TD] [TD]Mhandara[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Deflowered (non-virgin young woman)[/TD] [TD]Musikana[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Any mature woman (virgin or not)[/TD] [TD]Mukadzi[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][URL='https://business.goldmidi.com/is-baby-mama-offensive/']Single mother[/URL] (or a single divorcée)[/TD] [TD]Mvana or bvana[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Any woman who has given birth but is still married to her husband[/TD] [TD]Mumvana[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Spinster[/TD] [TD]Tsikombi[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] P.S. There is also [I]mvana [/I][URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/resources/bhrugwa.329/'][I]mubhurugwa[/I][/URL] which means a woman who aborted her own baby without the help of a healthcare professional. Of course, abortion that's a topic constantly debated in contemporary times. [/QUOTE]
