A lady has sparked debate online after questioning why women are expected to change their surnames once they get married.
She argued that marriage, being a union, should represent two individuals coming together as equals, not one person erasing their initial identity.

She explained that while tradition often dictates that women adopt their husband’s name, this practice historically positioned women as extensions of their husbands rather than independent individuals.
“Because it’s tradition doesn’t make it fair or sensible. If a woman wants to take her husband’s name, please take it, but let it be your choice, not something expected by default,” she said.
