Why does the women in the marriage have to have the husbands last man?


Answers: This tradition has started since Stone Age. That time humans didnt know earning or doing job. Hunting was only thing they did for living. Males were aggressive, physically more strong than females. They took responsibility of finding food for home and females took responsibility of managing living. Woman goes to man's house is not embarrassment. She goes their to make his living better. She give him status of family. The name she accept after marriage is man's family name. They give contribution growing family. Think logical, its not at all bad. Its nature whoz done this and how it cud be wrong when nature is so beautiful.
Well back when this tradition started women were looked at as property. People had to know who she belonged to. It's similar to slavery. But a lot of women these days keep their maiden names and some still change it since it's a tradition.
I know what you mean, I've found that odd as well! My name is my name, it's been my name all my life, and I can't imagine changing it. Actually, you are allowed to keep your own name when you get married, but it is more common and customary to take your husband's surname. I think it's to represent that you are a part of the same family after that. Also, if you keep your own name, what surname will your kids take?
I've pondered this question a lot as well and I'm curious as to the origin of this tradition. I'll watch this question to see if anyone can tell us.
that's the old traditional way. But the woman doesn't have to take his last name. She can keep her on name or have the names hypenated. Or they could even both change their last names to something totally different. Or if he's willing she can have the man take her last name. It's really up to the couple.
Here in Italy when a couple gets married the women do not and nicer have changed their last names. They don't have a choice.
It doesn't have to be like that but it is traditional to do this cause it carrys his generation on to the next. To keep the name going...the family going.
im keeping my last name
