Marriage Collapsed Over Wife’s Refusal to Take Husband’s Surname
A marriage ended after the wife refused to take her husband’s surname, stirring debate. One user commented:
“How wicked can a man be requesting that a woman should change her father’s surname? You have no right to request the change of her father’s surname.”
This statement paints the husband’s request as cruel and unjust. However, surname changes in marriage are a long-standing tradition, not an act of wickedness. While women have the right to keep their names, men also have the right to express their desires. Instead of labeling a request as oppression, couples should discuss expectations openly, ensuring decisions are based on mutual understanding, not resentment.
