why are women expected to change their surnames post marriage? is it a legal requirement or is it just one of those things which society asks to be done...there seem to be quite a few now who stick to their maiden name. what do you say about it........

I think it is not necessary for a woman to change her name as she should have maintain her own identity and she should not change her surname. Is it not wrong while a girl born she has to put her father's surname behind her name and after her marriage she has to suppose to put her husband's surname.
