ill never understand how "married women are expected to change their name to their husband’s" is still a thing in the 21st century

It’s easier that everyone in the family has the same surname imo

So the kids get double surnames?

Do their kids get quadruple surnames? Where does it end?

I agree with the fact that it's easier for everyone to share the same name, especially when one parent travels alone with the kids. It's such a faff (with good reasons) if you don't have the same.

The issue is more that it's often assumed that the wife has to take the husband's name by default, rather than it being ultimately a choice between the couple.
