No, it is OK in spoken English but not in written English.

Hello,
In the following sentence, is the word right officially considered (i.e. by grammarians) a question tag?
"She's married, right?"
In the absence of other answers, and given that you want to call it something, "question tag" probably works.Let me rephrase the question:
What is the ", right?" part officially called by English grammarians?
Is it called a Question Tag? If not, what could it be?
What you have here are people doing their best to get you an answer.
I was delighted to be asked to judge the competition again this year and it turned out to be a fascinating and entertaining 3 days. The quarterfinal rounds were run in British parliamentary style1 so that all the contestants were given the opportunity to take part in 7 different debates. This, of course, was wonderful practice and the debaters all responded with considerable enthusiasm.

One last point, don't use the word 'right' as a question. To make a statement and then say 'right?' is pointless and an incorrect use of English in the formal setting of a debate.
Thanks for the reply, but please note that I did not ask if it was "ok" in written English.
I asked if grammarians consider the word "right" a Question Tag (such as "isn't it?").
