Sir,
If a married or unmarried female employee, it does not matter in the Maternity Benefit Act. In which case, the unmarried female employee shall be entitled to avail the maternity benefit. Can you please provide some examples?

The preamble of the Maternity Benefits Act reads as follows:
An Act to regulate the employment of women in certain establishments for a certain period before and after childbirth and to provide for maternity benefits and certain other benefits. It says women - not married women. No moral values are put in by saying married or unmarried woman. As long as she meets the conditions - 80 days of work in the last 12 months, is pregnant, her marital status is irrelevant.

Please clarify if a female employee in our company has been working since May 2015, but has not worked for 80 days in the financial year 2016-17. Can you confirm if this employee is entitled to avail maternity benefits since she has submitted an application for maternity leave during her pregnancy?
Thank you.
