In French, you’d address a married woman as Madame, followed by her last name.  (You’d call a man Monsieur, regardless of whether he was married or not.)

Essentially, Madame is the French equivalent of "Mrs", with Monsieur being the equivalent of "Mr".

You call her "une épouse" but when you're addressing her you respectfully say "Madame".

The term you can use for a married woman if you are speaking the French language is 'Madame' which should be used before the name of the woman. The term is equivalent to 'Mrs.' in English and you can come across even the French term quite often.

You might have heard the name of the inventor of radium. Usually you will find that whenever the name is being used, it is used in conjugation with 'Madame' and the term it forms is 'Madame Curie'.

If you want the literal translation of the term married woman in the French language then you should use the term 'Femme mariée' as it stands for 'married woman' in French.
