TheUpsetGirl:
It still baffles me why women have to change their names because of marriage, who introduced this tradition? ,for instance my name is Isabella Peters and I want to get married to Mr Phillips, so after marriage I'm going to change my name to Isabella Phillips or Isabella Peters Phillips??.
This has to stop, I keep wondering why feminists don't include this in their agenda angry




Its European tradition. Just like they introduced English names.

Naming in Africa was so important. At no time would someone's name be exchanged for another just because they are married.

Western feminists are well aware of this btw

No, it's fine, I get it.


Yes, it's symbolic, it represents a fresh start.
It is not symbolic. It is required. Important send non-negotiable. As long as I paid your lobola... You got no choice.

If you feel being named with ur hubby name. Is bad...continue with your own name jejely...but pls read Isaiah 4:1 to see something important. Even in all place women bears men name when attached to them.
