>Mr. not depending on marital status

Not anymore, that is. It used to be an abbreviation for two appellations, one of which was associated with an unmarried gentleman. It's rarely used outside of the British Commonwealth, anymore. Except on Fresh Prince, of course.

I suppose the other appellation you are referring to is “Master”, but I understood its standard abbreviation to be M., not Mr., and it to be conventionally used for boys too young to be addressed as Mister (and before that, it was the term from which Mister was derived, and, before that, a title of guild rank), not a general title of unmarried (gentle- or otherwise) men.

Nope, it's definitely Mr., which possibly explains why "Master" practically disappeared. And while it may have been used to address boys, it could be comparable to Mme and Mlle in French. An older but still unmarried woman would be addressed as madame, but the marriage distinction still exists otherwise. "Master Bruce (Wayne)" was definitely not a boy, as an example in (something like) literature.
