The changing of woman's name when they get married to take the husband's last name itself is discrimination. Married or not woman should have right to keep her real family name. This is true in many world cultures where men and women are give equality.

Women already have the right to keep their maiden name if they wish.

You Say...changing of woman's name when they get married to take the husband's last name itself is discrimination. I Say...letting the woman take all of the husbands stuff at divorce time more than makes up for the little feminazi having to change her name. Now get back in the kitchen...

Nothing to think about.
