“Honestly, if we really want to follow “2 shall become 1″, the couple should merge both surnames.” – Actress Kemi Lala Akindoju challenges the tradition of women adopting their husband’s surname after marriage.
Reacting to the post, Monday Chukwudi Light wrote: “Then a woman should be the head and pay the marriage rights, it’s very simple.”
According to the actress, “I still question the children automatically coming from the man’s state of origin, his surname, and the fact that the man “owns” the child.
Scripture actually says the man cleaves to the woman (but what do I know). Most importantly, a woman should be allowed to choose. Whether she wants to change her name or not or compound it.”
