Can This Be An Issue In Marriage? by Cynluv(f): 9:36pm On Sep 22, 2013
An already planned wedding is about to be canceled, great people, wonders they said shall never end, a guy has threatened to canceled his wedding just because his bride does not wan't t leave her family,s name, she is not even a celebrity or a politician like some lady,s u know that have achieved alot in our society today no but just because her family have small money, so my good people please think well before u answer me this question, is there any thing wrong if a lady chooses to keep her family,s name alive?, for example if the guys name is tony onyeganu, and the lady's name is esther akamuoku, and after their wedding she will wan't t be addressed as esther akamuoku onyeganu, hmmm to be sincere i don't see any thin wrong about it, even if my family kicked against it i will make them see reasons t asept it, but to many people out there its not accepted, although in the olding days no matter your family,s background ones u mary u drop ur father,s surname and use only ur husband,s surname, but not like that any more, so please ur comment as a matured person will help even some other people out there who have the same challenge, thank u.

@ topic,there's nothing wrong with it
Just that some men can be so insecure about such things.
As long as she's adding his name to hers,I think the person with a problem is the lady even who has to deal with multiple names.
But well different strokes for different folks.

What is my business with what my wife decides to be called?
Re: Can This Be An Issue In Marriage? by eyenCalabar(m): 10:22pm On Sep 22, 2013
It's very wrong for any woman to still choose to bear her former names while married. She should understand that the thing is like a change of ownership kind of because a bride price was paid and the parents accepted it. Again, it doesn't just make sense still using your old names. For instance, if you were formerly called Gloria Bob and now you are married, you don't expect to be called Mrs. Bob rather Mrs. Tony (e.g. Tony being your husband's name), it wouldn't just make sense. It'll appear as if you were married to your father. Reason that!

Change of ownership?

You own your wife?as if u can create a human being.

Mtchew.her father who gave her life n her mother too won't even claim they own her
How much more u.some random stranger from nowhere.who met her when shes grown and because she wants to spend the rest of her life with you,you now own her!

I see nothing wrong in the lady answering her husband's name alongside her father's name. I've noticed that any married lady who retains her father's surname shows she has pride for the family where she comes from. I'm of the opinion that married females retain their father's surname while adopting their husband's surnames to at least retain their identity of where they come from. I've even told my only sister severally not to dare drop our sweet family surname when she gets married or...cheesy cheesy

Many ladies nowadays are doing same. For example, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Kim Kardashian West, Khloe Kardashian Odom, Stella Damascus Aboderin(that was before her husband died) etc.

God bless you for this comment, this is an open minded person and not some person whom I smell might rock their 40's answering Miss Adanne. This is an open discussion, give reasons why you want to include your father surname? Its not a do or die affair. If we strictly want to abolish what has been the very tradition and want to start the modern fabricated ones out of share polluted toughts of male/female equality. Then why not also tell your parents its bride price only and not all those irreponsible list he's be subjected to. If those Umunna and Adanne have collected their share as well and the rest too have requested their own share as well and with the ego every man has, he'll definately want you to drop that surname. Well, as for me on a very serious note, I wouldn't allow my wife keep her fathers name. They say 2 to become one and not 2 to become two. We have to start our own family. But if she insist, then she would have to be ready to give me reason as to why and as well we have to look into the bride price issue, cos I will not also be open minded about it.

Once I start a family, I become Mr B-Knight. My son is Mr Ade B-Knight. My wife wants to call herself Mrs Yemi Alakija-B-Knight? grin. (From where alakija take jump enter d equation? An extended family name inside my nuclear family? Mba! I refuse!)

Our educated sisters should talk to their kinsmen to review d idea of bride price else many things will remain the way tradition has it done.
I won't pay bride price to ur father for you to coin his name into mine.

If u want to leave ur father and mother and be one with me then be done with it already!. Or why even use my name at all? Lol...girls want every indication that they are married but still wanmt to have their cake grin

I'd rather u continue with ur own father's name than coin his name with a 'stranger' undecided

Well like you've rightly said. If its important. I would be glad to know the importance, I'm open mided about it, but what if the reasons are not cogent enough? What if she wants to retain it for inheritance purpose? That means she's looking down on me that I can't be greater than her father? I want to know reasons why? Is it love for the family? Or just sign she wants to show equality between men/women? I just want to get it. I'm not biased. I'm curious, I need reasons why the need to coin my name and her father name just to get a mixed identity. Ladies, should also be working towards telling their parents to stop this outrageous bride price collection from their husband, they should also fight for the review of those barbaric demands. If you want to be modern then we have to do away with anything traditionalgrin

I'm waiting for that poo you want to say. I don't even have your time. Low self esteem is disturbing you, you need a psychologist to have your brain re-examined and who dash this you self acclaimed husband. Keep dreaming, keep dreaming. They'll still come back here and open a thread for single women.. Hahaha. You just come up here to derail a peaceful thread meant to share ideas devoid of insults. I wonder a man that will harbour an uncultured woman as you. I wish men come to see how their future wives misbehave on nairaland. You want equality, then also pay husband grooms price. That is one honour given to men alone, which shows a lot of respect for male folks. Females too have their respect, but don't subject it to a debate.

I feel the guy should be bold and go beyond issuing threats. That certainly couldn't have been their first encounter on the issue. Why did he have to wait till now to resolve it? Perhaps he is a weakling and adopted the idea long ago. Maybe his friends or family may have cautioned him only recently. Perhaps also he receives certain ''porridge'' gifts from the girl's family and may have sold his rights.

Women and their power plays. Any man that succumbs to such manipulation is automatically given 2nd position in the family. How can a man be a subordinate in such union? It sounds really awkward.

In my opinion, if a woman is not willing to leave her father's house (and name), then she is not ready for marriage. Oha! This is not a matter of bride price sef. Due process or absconding, she has to drop the name. It's not negotiable.

Of course it's a peaceful thread as long as women are being put down.
