Answer

We are unable to comment on the 'mangalsutra' as we don't have knowledge of it.

However, one way to find out whether the woman is married or not is to enquire from her male guardian, for example, father, brother, etc.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
