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

i don't think i would chage my name. in my case my midde name is my fathers name. i dont think id ever drop that. but i also like my surname lol! BUT because career wise that is my identity but if the issue is keeping your fathers name i have seen many people change their surname into their middle name.

have people noticed how some people use their husbands name as a surname? so if adnan married robina...her name would be robina adnan after marriage.

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

I quite agree with TLK here, tht Mrs "husband" sounds good. Not Mrs with fathers name.
I have not changed my surname so far.. But InsHAllah im planning to.
Sometimes it does look odd, when we book holiday or something, we have different surname. In our Family we do change name as we get married, My Mother, MIL did, I will too InshAllah.
But this does not mean u dont love ur father/parents...
Every individual has a right! They can do what ever they want.

I asked this question at my local mosque and I was told that it is not allowed and here is an answer online that is similar to what I got.

ok Ansoon, this is just a forced assumption on molana’s part
**
It is not permissible for a woman to take her husband’s name or his family name because that is attributing oneself to someone other than one’s father,**

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

i did. here in germany its realy common. you get the last name of ur spouse. u can also have a double name, means ur last name and spouses last name together...

but i decided to take his name, because i want that we all have the same name, also our son... because after marriage, this is the family i will live in...

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

I'm inclined to say no just because that has been my name all my life and I don't see a reason to change. But I might consider a hyphenated last name.

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

I didn't because islamically you are supposed to keep your father's last name! we are not relaed by blood so how can we have a same lineage? People have called us Mr. and Mrs. his last name /or my last name but we just correct them and no big deal.. our children will have his last name inshaAllah and inshaAllah our daughters will keep that after marriage because thats how we will set an example for them =)

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

isn't it true that everyone will be called with the name of their father on the day of judgement? if husband's name was of any importance then why wouldn't that happen? I believe it's more of the lineage than just "attributing to oneself to someone" if adopted children are required to keep the name of their father then it only makes sense that a woman should keep her father's name as well.

ps: selective reading and quoting from the whole article just because you didn't agree with one sentence.. how smart!!!

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

not me.

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

yes, it is right but how does that imply that one's should not change her last name after marriage?

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

Btw when my jethani changed her name, hubby was like, “see how she’s showing her love for him” and I said, " yup, does that mean you’re changing your name for me?" :hooch:

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

do you only read just a sentence and then butcher it?

I am amazed at your lack of attention to the reply!

peace out!

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

I don't see the need to. I didn't change mine. and NO its not an ego issue. I am fine with my father's name. And I've also read Islamically you are known by your father's name. As far as I know.. back in Mohammad's (PBUH) times, girl's mostly had Binte.. as compared to Zoja.

When people address us as a couple they still say Mr. and Mrs. .. my husband's last name. That works for us.
