My questions:
1 - How did the custom of changing surnames post marriage creep into Asian culture?
2 - If if was there in the first place, then why is it that women of yore did not do the same?
3 - Okay,so the practice now exists.Why is it that only women change their surnames?Why not men?
4 - Does the intimacy of a marriage depend on it?Like if a woman has changed her surname,she is closer to her husband than a woman who has not done so.
5 - If the answer to the above question is "Yes",in that case why do we still see so many divorces/separations all around us in spite of the woman having officially changed her surname after marriage?
[I ask this question out of sheer surprise that people give so much importance to the deed]
