MRS. WORLDWIDE - BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI

 MRS. WORLDWIDE - (Continuation 
Eligibility Criteria (General, may vary slightly by specific pageant):
Marital Status: This is the most crucial criterion. Contestants must be married. Some pageants may also allow separated, divorced, or widowed women, or single parents, acknowledging the diverse marital journeys of women. Proof of marital status (e.g., marriage license) is typically required.
Age: While the "Miss" pageants have strict upper age limits, "Mrs." pageants generally have a broader age range, often from 21-23 years old up to 48-60+ years old. This reflects the different stages of life married women experience.
Nationality/Residency: Contestants usually represent their home country or a specific region within their country. They must be citizens or legal residents of the country they are representing.
Good Health and Moral Character: Participants are expected to be in good physical and mental health and possess good moral character. There are often clauses disallowing individuals with criminal records or those who have engaged in activities that would bring disrepute to the pageant.
No Nudity/Pornography: Contestants must not have posed for or be involved in any form of photography, video, or film associated with nudity or pornography.
No Conflicting Contracts: Some pageants require that the applicant not be under any commercial contract with a modeling agency or other entities that would conflict with their pageant participation or reign.
Family Support: While not always a strict rule, some pageants emphasize the importance of family support, as participating in a global competition can be a significant commitment.
