Yes I include a married name as an AKA, but only if I see that a married name was actually used in a source. I don’t assume every woman uses one unless I have seen it in use somewhere.

I see they include clerk errors as an alternate names/AKA's (ie. John Doe recorded as John Done by clerk error, so "John Done" is recorded as an AKA). For people who do this, do you also record the married names under AKA's? (i.e. Mary Smith marries Charlie Brown, so do you record "Mary Brown" under the AKA)? I understand the reason for having all these variations 1. reminds you of all the variations when searching for new information; 2. allows a more indepth computer/internet search when searching the web for information.
