There is a cultural tradition and a practical side to
the institution of "marriage name change" - perhaps
one is responsible for the other. In some cultures a woman
does not take on her husband's legal last name, while in
others the husband's last name is associated with his wife
completely or in part. Some cultures insist upon the wife
keeping her legal maiden name, but including her new husband's
legal last name as well.
In America, it
has been the custom for a wife to assume, or at least include
her husband's last name in association with her legal maiden
name once married. Be this for reasons of religious conviction
and in the definition of relationship roles, or be it for
practical reasons such as child rearing, financial benefit,
medical requirement or legal necessity. "Marriage name
change" was and is still popular today in the United
States.
Today, there
are a few "modern twists" to "marriage
name change", such as a groom's automatic right
to change his name due to marriage in a few of the United
States. And, yes, some career women are not changing their
name - this may be okay as it is not a legal requirement.
Today, "marriage name change" has a broader definition,
not just from a cultural standpoint, but a practical one
as well.
Marriage
Name Change Defined Traditionally & Practically
Traditional
Definition - "Marriage Name Change"
"Marriage
Name change is a basic legal act that is recognized
in the American legal system to allow an individual the
opportunity to adopt a last name other than the last name
given at birth, adoption, or through a previous marriage"
Practical
Definition- "Marriage Name Change"
"Marriage
Name Change includes the legal permission to marry and the
solemnization of that marriage through a legally binding
marriage ceremony, together with the legal filing/recording
of a marriage license. It also includes the proper "notification"
of a change of marital status due to marriage and/or the
intention to change the legal last name of the wife (some
States also the husband) with United State's governmental
agencies, state agencies or other important individuals
or groups whereby financial, medical, familial or legal
benefits may be lost or gained by virtue of non-compliance."
"Marriage
Name Change" - A Must For All Couples Marrying
The practical
definition of "marriage
name change" is relevant to every man and woman
marrying in America today (American citizen or legal resident).
If changing her last name… if only changing her marital
status due to marriage and not changing her last name… if
he is changing his last name due to marriage.. or if he
is notifying as to a change of marital status only because
of marriage. Again, "marriage
name change" in its broadest sense of definition
applies both to men and to women marrying. The process of
"marriage name change" notification is best completed
by bride and groom together for practical reasons.
