The difference is in the grammatical person, so we have:

Singular

Am I married? Bin ich verheiratet?

Are you...? Bist du...?

Is he, she, (it) ...? Ist er, sie, (es)...?

Plural

Are we? Sind wir?

Are you? Seid ihr?

Are they? Sind sie/Sie?

So, if you want to ask sbd if he´s married you use the second person singular. If you want to ask formal about his or her status, then you use the third person plural with the capital "Sie", instead of the second person plural like in English (where it´s the same like the second person singular, but you know what I mean :) )

Thanks Brian

Seid ihr verheiratet is the plural you. Bist du Verheiratet is the singular you. The first would be asked if you were asking two people if they were married to each other or if you were asking more than one person if they were married, the second you are asking one person if they are married.
