From a report of the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch:  The operator had suspended operations for several months due to Covid-19 restrictions, and prior to the incident flight the reservation system from which the load sheet was produced had been upgraded. There was a fault in the system which, when a female passenger checked in for the flight and used or was given the title ‘Miss’, caused the system checked her in as a child. The system allocated them a child’s standard weight of 35 kg as opposed to the correct female standard weight of 69 kg. Consequently, with 38 females checked in incorrectly and misidentified as children, the G-TAWG takeoff mass from the load sheet was 1,244 kg below the actual mass of the aircraft.  ...  The incident occurred due to a simple flaw in the programming of the IT system, which was due to the meaning of the title ‘Miss’ being interpreted by the system as a child and not an adult female. This was because in the country where the system was programmed, Miss is a child and Ms is an adult female.

What country might that be? India?

In what country are women automatically labeled "Miss"?
