No, however you could use 'Separated' or just leave it as married with an explanation in Bio Notes. However, it is usually fairly obvious if someone is widowed, as their partner's name will be faded in their neighbouring box.

Also if the couple was still married at the time of death of one of the spouses. The tree in the partner section will say Late Wife or Late Husband then the persons name. That's if you had it set up on the tree that they are/were married. If they haven't remarried then people would know they are widowed.
