[s]As if its a bad thing... How does submittingvro a husband resort to changing her name?, where is it written in the bible she should change her name?, kindly quote. Thank you.

Is it wrong to honour her father?, no father will feel dishonoured by that, except he feels he is not worth it... what of men that honour their own mothers, and put their mothers above their wives, if they have the chance they will definitely bear their mothers names and even impose it on their wives and children. [/s]

[color=royalblue]If you learn to respect people's opinion, the world would be a better place

Did I say it's a bad thing? No
Did I insult Banky for allowing that? No

I have no issues with whatsoever way you decide to run your life. It's not my business, okay?[/color]

alBHAGDADI:
Adding her father's name to her husband's name is totally against the Bible. Including her father's name means her marriage, which her father should have no business in, now includes him. This makes it two flesh.

Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

It also doesn't show submission which is against the Bible which says wives should submit to their husband. It changes the ancient landmark which we all met.

There i nothing in the bible about using surnames
Using surnames was not a Jewish practice and did not exist in the bible
Using surnames is not an African practice either
It is something the Europeans foisted on us

Surnames are not "father's names

Many of us were born into this practice of using surnames and assume we have always done so in Africa this is not true
It is a relatively new practice
We havedifferent practises of naming ourse;lves in Africa but the practise of Firstname surname is one that came with Western civilization

In the North you would find people named after towns villages or even their job

IEven in Yoruba land it is a new thing to use surnames in the Western way

Today you have surnames like Balogun. Is that a family name in Yoruba culture historically?
