I think it's ok, coz once man and woman get married, it  means they are becoming a couple, a family. So it's no problem for them sharing the same surnameSmile.....

NabilaSh,

Perhapes it is due to male's dominent personality or if there has been love, it may be due to mergence of both souls in togetherness.

But I have the question why do we have our 2nd name ? We should not have:I feel !!!!

NabilaSh,
it is in the west as i know and may other countries but i'm sure it is not in islamic countries.
but i think it is fair to belong to her father first then her husband because the first relashionship is eternal but the second may not.
dev.,

But I have the question why do we have our 2nd name ? We should not have:I feel !!!!
simililarity in names will cause confusion..
for ex.,
i give it to john…..john who? oh, john hex
that's right or what?!!..
regards

i think it's ok to have 2nd name , maybe we will need to have 3nd or more for distinguishing between people. in islamic countries we haven't this matter.. but maybe in the west ,yea… i think that because the marriage was eternal in another religion like Christianity.

but it is untill now…why?

I think this traditional wat to change the last name of women after marriage causes some problem for genealogists..

Female ancestors present special research problems for two main reasons. A significant part of the difficulty stems from the fact that at the time of their marriage most American females changed their last name to that of their husband. Not knowing the last name makes for significant research difficulties.

Another significant problem in locating women is that for much of American history, women have not had the same legal rights as men. The result is that women are generally listed less often than men in many of the records utilized by genealogists.

Determining what happened to a woman after her marriage requires the genealogist to do more than simply look up names in indexes hoping something magically appears. It requires that the researcher learn about:
- Records of the time period.
- Common legal practices of the time, particularly those involving women's rights and inheritances.
- History of the region during the time period.
- Factors effecting migration during the time period.
