We met it like that.


The problem is I don't like 'lalasticlala' as a surname.

Lol... But seriously, it's the normal thing....

Some ladies still attach their father's surname to their husband's surname after marriage though!

[color=Blue]It's not mandatory to change your surname to your husband's after getting married. Obviously, this is something you'd discuss BEFORE tying the knot. If your man is in agreement, no one else's opinion counts.[/color]

But i dont think a daughter of a successful man would change her surname, like daughter of dangote,otedola,buhari or jonathan.

My wife can use her surname in the middle of her name, there's no law to back the practice of name change, some things we place importance on are too stupid.

We are talking about humans here and not some commodities. The question is does the husband owns her? The answer is no.

But how many women these days who prefer not to change their surnames are daughters of these people?

Changing surname isn't compulsory as long as the woman's husband is okay with it.

The issue on changing of Name is not Important but its Neccesary cheesy. Meanwhile the two have become one flesh
