Hey Panel,
Why do girls in the main have to change their name to their partners? Why shouldn’t men have to abandon their surname if they marry? How many men on the panel would choose to abandon their surname if their future wife ask for that to happen so she could keep her name. For that matter why should children immediately assume the surname of the father? What’s wrong with having them select a name of their own choosing at the age of 18? The way it stands now just reinforces a male dominated society where women count for nothing. It’s time for real social progress!
