Normally, women like to add their husbands' name once they got married. Why is it so? ;) Is it to prove that, now they have become a private property......or to show love and respect to her husband???? If so, why men are not adding their wives' names to them???? Does it show the bond of relationship??? Also, tell me, if women do so, does it add any significance to the relationship????? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Actually according to the Indian customs, men are known as head of the family and given lot of respect than women. so the name of the women changes after marriage. But in Kerala, this is reverse, men name changes after marriage

Our society is patriarchal. After marriage, a woman belongs to her husband's family and so adopts the surname/ title of her in laws. Also, in some families, an entirely new name is given to the new wife. This is just traditional.

There are some tribal communities in many parts of India, including Kerala that follow matriarchal system. In these communities, mother is family head and surname of women is adopted.

There are many women in hindu culture too, who do not change the surname,which they got from their parent. But just add her husband's surname too.
Example: Aiswarya rai Bachchan.

Women should be called by her husband's name after marriage and before marriage she uses her father's name. This is our tradition. It is therefore we say that women has no caste and religion. Rest depends on us, how we would consider this matter.
