A married woman may not have taken her husband's name. Mrs. implies it while Ms. is neutral.

Considering "Mrs." just means "mistress" (the feminine form of "mister"), I don't see how it implies that.

While I'm at it, I don't see how "miss" can be more respectful than "mistress" when the former is a clipping of the latter, so a miss is less than a mistress.

In many places, the law doesn't allow for the woman to take the man's name. Only children's family name can be decided.
