[quote=Anonymous]In my country it’s unheard of women taking their husbands’ name. Even at my grandma’s time it did not happen (she got married 70 years ago). I did not change my name when I married here in the US. My 3 kids have my DH’s name. We have had zero issues. People that think that it can be a problem are misinformed. My kids have traveled with me internationally multiple times, I am on all schools/doctors/sports forms, etc. It really is a non-issue in practice. I do find this tradition insulting to women and demeaning. Thankfully, my husband whose previous wife took his name, did not care at all that I did not. I really hope my daughters raised in the US will not be stupid to choose a man that values this ridiculous and backward tradition.[/quote]
