Re: A question for ladies...

My husbands last name is the same as my maidan name (even though we are not related in any way!), so this was a non issue for me. However, had his last name been different, I probably would have kept my maidan name anyway, as in Islam, a women is not required to take on her husband's name.

Islamically, the wife is NOT required and also NOT encouraged to change her maiden name. a lot of women in the west also are increasingly keep their maiden names.

Gorian either change it into their husband's name, or they have a combination of both.

Re: A question for ladies...

Technically women should have their father's name as their last name, but that's not always the case. So I don't think it matters that much. I'm 50-50 about changing your surname

some just keep their maiden name...two of our ex prime minister's wives had kept their maiden names and did NOT acquire their husband's last name! :) i know quite a few married women [goris] who have just kept their maiden names...my boss is one of them...she hasn't changed her name.

Birth name !! Trust me, you can't change your bloodline!!! So why give up the name you have been given just for a man!!!

Re: A question for ladies...

its depends on u what u like to choose ..but some times we have to change like i have made my id card and passport with my father name but after getting married we have to make oanother one with husbands name ... i dont think the names do something becoz every person has theiir own place in heart parents are gift from ALLAH and husband is a life partner and if u do for ur husbnd nothing wrong ... well i choose my hubby name INSHALLAH becoz after getting married u recogzniise his wife and this feeling is really nice ... and yes parents love is like no can replace that

Re: A question for ladies...

I have my maiden surname still but that's probably because I haven't had my official registry done yet. Not a problem because I prefer own maiden name!

Re: A question for ladies...

Wow! I always thought girls would be quite happy to take on their husband's surname as their own.

Or are you talking about taking your husband's FIRST name as your new SURNAME?
