Ladies, how many of you changed your name after marriage?

There is a thought for all those who think a woman’s change of name is not an equality issue; why doesn’t the couple hyphenate both their last names as the family last name, i.e. Smith-Khan? Or come up with something original.

Or, humour me here, take on wife’s last name.

What are you going to do with your kids, keep hyphenating?

And in Islam, the man is the head of the family. And even ignoring religion, woman want a guy who takes charge etc. They have an innate need to be protected and want the man to…well be a man. I think you can see that by taking his wife’s name (going against what humans usually do) he’s kind of emasculating himself. So, no that won’t work.
