The romanization is mutazawwij.

In classical Arabic, the word زَوْج can be used for any pair of things, not just humans. This means the root of the word for 'married' is the same word used to describe a pair of shoes or a matching set.
The concept of being 'married' is often expressed through the phrase عَلَى ذِمَّة, which literally means 'under the protection/guarantee of'. This refers to the legal and financial responsibility the husband holds in a traditional marriage.
If you are filling out a form and see الحَالَةُ الِاجْتِمَاعِيَّةُ, do not look for the word 'marital'. This term literally means 'social status' and is the standard way to ask for your status in official contexts.
