Why is"Shree" used with Names of GODDESSES even they are feminine,why can't "Smt."/ "Kumari"be used for them?

Question

As Shree Durgaji,Shree Lakshami Ji etc.written instead of

"Smt.Durgajee" ,"Smt.Lakshamiji" is used with the names of Goddesses.

Answer 1

I think that "Shrimati","Kumari","Sushree" are used for females

of human-beimg with societal relations like:

"Shrimati" is prefixed with ladies who are married.

"Kumari"   is prefixed with unmarried girlsor women.

"Sushree" is used for both  married and unmarried women.

"Shree" is prefixed to all most respected superbeing such

as GOD and GODDESSES,it doesn't matter with the

genders.

Answer 2

   The word"SHREE" is the most

    honoured  word for all,not confined

   to gender.Since,both GODS  and

   GODDESSES are equally respected  

   hence ,the Word "SHREE" is rightly

   put for both of these respected

  categories."Smt." is used for human

    ladies ,who are married." Kumari"is

   used for virgin girls.New To be brides

   are  put with"  SAUBHAGYANKSHINI"

   or "  SAU.KAN." in Wedding invitation

    Cards.

Answer 3

  pre-fixed to most respectable super-power persons.
