This topic came up while I was in class today, and everyone had very opposing views on the issue. It seemed that most girls were against it, and more guys were 'for' it. I just thought I'd post it on PT to hear all of your opinions.
What do you think of women changing their last name to that of their husband, after marriage? I know its very common and something I believe most people do, but for some reason, I just don't like it. I have never liked it. I know that when I get married, I'm keeping my last name. I won't change it to my husband's family name. I guess its because I feel I should always have the last name I was born with...that of my family. The family/house I was born in will never change, nor will my rights/loyalty towards my family change once I get married. I was born in my house...my family's house...not my husband's. Why should my last name change? My husband will be my husband...not my father...so I guess I just don't see the 'point' in changing my name. I don't think marriage should take the family name away from a girl. Is it fair? What do you all think? I would personally hate to lose my family name to that of my future husband.
