Acidosis: I have more than one sef. It's not my business. Your opinion. It is for identification with the new family. As long as a marriage took place (even if it's in a sitting room) and both parties see themselves as one and a couple, who cares what name anyone bears? 4 Likes |

HaneefahRN: It is not your business, but it is the responsibility of the family to receive the price. You have no say on that subject actually. Again, names are very significant in this part of the world. It is one of those things feminism may not be able to erase anytime soon. Although I see them agitating for equality in names soon A time would come when women would be called Buhari, and Jonathan. We might soon begin to call our boys Aisha, Haneefah 3 Likes |

Ishilove:Every married woman should change her name to her husband's. Bearing your maiden name will not only confuse your lineage, it would become open grounds for invest in large, itinerant families. |

shaybebaby:Hi shaybebaby, do you read Italian? I'm asking cos the article stating my point is written in Italian, so maybe my translate app gave me a meaning that was lost in translation. The Italian Civil Code (Article 143 bis) is what I need you to translate. You could ask your Italian spouse to do it for you. |

BloodyCrook:I've been with that name all my life so letting go is like letting go of something very very dear to me. I may consider attaching to my husband's name by hyphenation. Well depending on what his name will be. If he has a name like 'Aigbolosimuan', or 'Akporobomerenrenren', (Ali baba's surname), then there will be a problem 2 Likes |

Mindfulness:I didn't address this bit yesterday cos I needed to go offline. There's nothing bad about it all, but this excuse is something I keep hearing from majority of women who prefer to keep their fathers name. So you all say the reason could be that she intends to keep her father's name maybe because there are no sons to do it. The question I usually ask and which I hope you will give an answer to is, What surname will the woman's kids bear? 1 Like |

Re: Why Do Married Women Have To Be Addressed As Mrs? by Nobody: 9:44am On Jul 12, 2016 |
crackhaus: The reasons why a woman wishes to do so are diverse and I wouldn't say they are excuses although I know that you will say that the reason that a father has no sons is an excuse as the family name will die off the moment the daughter who keeps his name dies because - in most countries - the kids keep their father's name. What surname the kids will bear is also for the couple to decide. In the countries that you have mentioned (Italy, Greece) kids bear their father's name. |

crackhaus: You are right but I would love to see discussions on a different level. The fact that people quickly become personal and verbally abusive is a sign of helplessness and weakness, in my opinion. Whenever people run out of arguments or feel unable to pass their points across, they start insulting other people. The Brexit debate has perfectly shown what a sophisticated culture of debating the British have. I was full of admiration and I rarely feel any admiration for the British. Debating should be done like sports, according to rules and the principle of fairness. Now since I am a very emotional being , I know that it is more difficult to keep one's cool on some days than on others but some people have made a habit of uncivil and disrespectful behavior just because their hide behind their screens. |

Mindfulness:Lol..what I like about you when we argue - you already figured out where I was going. The summary is that for whatever reason that can be thought of which could make a woman insist on retaining her father's name, it's almost certain that this name will live only as long as she is alive....because in most cases, the children from that marriage will bear their father's surname and not the hyphenated surname which has their maternal grandfather's name included in it. So what is the point at the end of the day to keep the maiden name, when the woman's father's name will still end with the woman? |

crackhaus: For as long as they are alive, the name is. I don't think they will bother once they part from this world but it is of value for as long as they are alive. And since most Nigerians have more than two kids, one of them could as well take on the mother's name. I don't find this solution convienent but some other people may. |

crackhaus: I am not preaching. I am advertising for a healthy debate culture. When I see political debates on TV, I feel that this is what we need urgently. It would do a lot of good.

crackhaus:You are reaching a bit far and generalising because we all know that Nigeria encompasses many cultures, there are over 350 active languages and cultures. So moving away from colonisation and the amalgamation of these different tribes, how can you assert boldly that YOU know what was prior..for all tribes? Might need to hit those books again. 1 Like |
