Re: Ladies, how many of you changed your name after marriage?
I was referring to Islam about the men changing their last names. Like I said, traditionally, the woman takes the man’s last name. And like you mentioned, when someone calls a man Mrs so and so its done in a joking way so I don’t see that trend taking off. You can call it male pride or whatever but it’s not going to happen.
As for the kids’ names, I think it was a way of claiming that you are in fact the father. Obviously the identity of the mother is undeniable (she gave birth) but when a guy gives the child his last name, he’s claiming the child.
As for the woman taking the man’s name, I wouldn’t force it on her but I would certainly appreciate it if she did. The entire family would have the same name. Traditionally, I think the mentality is that once the girl is married, she’s a part of her husband’s family, hence the changed last name.
Women are always saying men need to let their mothers go, well ladies, let your fathers go! ![]()
Besides, if a woman made this big a deal about a name change, she’s probably some kind of feminazi and that’s just not worth it.
