Check your brake fluid level, and make sure your parking brake is all the way up.
If all is good and you haven't had any work done lately, it may be time for a master cylinder.

the E brake light goes on if your master cylinder is going bad? Even if its working fine?
Why couldnt it just be a loose E brake? Maybe the force of the car coming to a halt is making it drag or something....

When only one person drives the car they tend to not feel the sinking pedal from a master on the way out till they have issues. Yes, poor height in pedal, whether it be air in the line or a fading MC will cause the light to come on.
The only things that are connected to the light that I know of is the MC and the e-brake pedal sensor itself.
The e-brake could fall off or catch fire for that matter and not trip a light because it is a mechanical system with no wiring, only the pedal down even a notch will trip trip the light.

If the fluid is good and pedal pressure is good then check the float in the resevoir it may be stuck.
