Dear Sudha
The region between the two eyebrows is a centre of energy and the proper utilisation of this energy will enhance a person' s abilities. Covering it with turmeric-generated kumkum minimises its wastage. Hence all (including gents) are advised to put kumkum (not sticker bindi) there. You can see that most traditional gents keep kumkum or chandan or namam at that spot.
A female is considered the avatar of Lakshmi/Parvati. She has more energy at the said spot compared to gents. Also she is considered gruhalakshmi i.e. as long as she is okay the whole household is okay, which is the truth also. Hence it is imperative that a female - married or unmarried - almost always (except during bathing and ashoucha days) puts kumkum - not sticker bindi - on her forehead between eyebrows.
Additionally kumkum gives a sense of cultural identity and pride to us Indians, the carriers of the oldest and noblest civilisation.
It also gives a beauty to a girl or woman which no other ornament gives. At least to my eyes a girl without kumkum but with jhumka and necklace looks odd and alien while a girl with kumkum with ordinary earstuds and no necklace looks exquisite. Even a bald female (who would have shaved her head for some purpose) with kumkum on her forhead looks beautiful to me.
These are some of the reasons why a girl or woman wears/should wear kumkum on her forehead.
