...this woman, though relatively young and quite pretty, from her prettiness we can see idleness and tiredness behind, lacking the energy and vitality of a girl hunting for husband.

I think as a sentence, "How to know whether a woman is married or not" is crystal clear.
But as a title, people will understand " How to Know a Woman Married or Not" at first sight.

Do you agree with me?

But it's not a normal use. It sounds like someone being pensive, possibly in response to a discussion that has been going on.

Hmmmmm, how to know/how is one to know whether ... .

Not really. It's too clipped.

@oristarA,
It surely is not clear to me. Not even as a title.

How to Know a Woman Whether She's Married or Not

This title, however, seems a bit too long.

@oristarA,
No.

I don't know if you've ever run across this in your reading, or not, but "to know" can have a kind of special meaning. We often refer to it as "knowing someone in the biblical sense". It means to have sexual relations with someone. Please believe me when I say I'm not making this up. Now, consider your most recent title.

"How to Know a Woman Whether She's Married or Not". Honest, it sounds like you are giving the guys instructions on how to enter an adulturous relationship.

Why not just say "How to know whether a woman is married."?

Unintentionally hilarious howler. The words are in the wrong order, and suggest to me

"How to get acquainted with (or have sex with) a woman, regardless of her marital state".

Look up the "biblical sense" of "know".

You should not omit important conjunctions and prepositions.

How to know if a woman is married. "Or not" is redundant.

You don't need the "or not".
