Women Retaining Their Maiden Names by LegitGirl(f): 6:19pm On Apr 04, 2022
A friend asked me this question, recently.

A guy, as a matter of fact. He said he doesn't mind his wife reraining her maiden name.

What do you guys think?

As long as the kids takes the fathers name. I don't see any implication of this. They may be rejected by immigration to provide enough documentation to support the claim.

Apart from that, nothing more that I know of.

To reduce any unnecessary record keeping burdens, women should keep their maiden names after marriage. It is not like marriage is some sort of rebirth, but instead a mere transitioning from one location to another in many cases. undecided

It's not a big deal if the couple agrees on doing it this way. I prefer that all members of my family respond to the same name but it's personal choice.

Well it has never been an issue for me. My wife still bears her father's name. I can say mostly in the north that's how it is.

Mine uses her maiden name for her professional pursuits at least of today. I don't care as a person provided the children take on my last name.

If she's from a prominent family, she can keep the maiden name.

For example you don't expect Mike Adenuga or Olusegun Obasanjo's daughter to switch surname to a non known name.

There's nothing wrong in it.

It doesn't make the woman less or more faithful or less or more committed to the marriage.

Everyone knows she's your Mrs, the stress of going to change name upandan is not easy.

Does that mean you're fine with whatever outcome?

Or that you already have the status quo expectations (women for domestic chores...woman takes your name)?

Feminist alert! Unless I didn't use my hard earned money to pay her bride price; she will retain it but if not she will either stop the madness or go back to her father's house!!! Thank you...
