DECLARATION:i am not a rebel...i am just voicing my opinion😆

i have seen many posts on this forum saying that why is Nisha's name still Nisha Gangwal .
i am against the idea of changing a girl's name after her marriage
why should a girl change her surname after her marriage?
name of an individual is his/her identity,part of her life,the fundamental thing that makes him/her recognize in this society!
parents are the most important ppl in the world-whether a girl is married or not!
so why can't nisha be Nisha Gangwal...is it really important that we should erase that Gangwal from her name...Gangwal family is where she was born and brought up It is where she grew and matured over the years as an individual
see i have nothing against addressing nisha as Mrs Kabir Kumar(going by the rules of the society though i am not completely satisfied) when we speak formally...but changing her name to Mrs Nisha Kabir Kumar ...is that really necessary?i don't think so...
somewhere i find the hands of the patriarchal society behind this ritual(i wud like to call it as a ritual)why should the girls alone change their surnames?why not the boys?ok...why should anyone change their names?
marriage means that the union of two individuals ,their families and their cultures...what makes them think that the girl is donated or gifted to the boy's family(i hate to say this but this is the way society thinks-which is reflected in the rituals of kanyaadan and dowry...)
some may say that the new name reminds the girl abt her responsibilities and that she is no longer a kid but a wife-the term that brings responsibilities to a girl's life!-but what can a name change?i really don't knw...
if the CVs are so much interested in showing that they can change her name to Nisha Gangwal Kumar or something like that(i knw that it sounds really stupid😆)-but i am still against this !

pls tell me ur opinions...

PS:this is a serious post!!!😆

A very innovative topic Anu 👏👏

I am with you when it comes to this and I always am !
Marriage is not something casual . It means of completing each others life . It means bringing out the best in a person . Understanding is the main content which binds this relationship stronger .
A marriage brings two individual personalities emotionally attached .They take each step together , whether it is happiness or a depressed phase . This needs equal understanding . Each other's name never refers to a person marriage state .
In fact I always get surprised by why things changes to responsibilities for females after marriage . Marriage is no compromise , but it is a bond of trust and love . A person is the same before and after marriage , may be his / her spouse may bring the best out of him / her ,but they are never recognised by husbands name along with his wife's name . women are not a property to be written their surname with husbands name .
I'm a young girl , I may not understand about these things but I also have confusions over it .
I really don't understand these rituals which bound in our society , where it is about marriage or responsibilities .
Coming to Nisha : I am really happy with her name being Nisha Gangwal and Kabir not enquiring about it is a very right thing . Nisha is free to live her life before and after marriage (I'm not saying she was suffering , but certainly not bye names )
Name is just something which is used to identify a person , it has no relation to marriage and further life .
Hope I make sense .
Ps : I like critical comments , if anyone felt my comment was wrong can surely go against what I said .

Anu ...i understand wat u mean...yes it is unfair that the girl have to change her surname after marriage among other things ...it is unfair that she has to leave her family when the guy gets to keep his family...its unfair that she is considered as an object simply handed over...its unfair that she is expected to bring "gifts" to her sasural...its absolutely unfair
however the soceity works that way...we cannot question ppl's way of thinking but we can do something else...we can think abt solutions and act unconventionally for ourselves...fine we cant question soceity but we can change ours...no one else shud interfere in our lives and if we truly believe in making a change lets do it for ourselves first before advising anyone else


PS- i am proud to say that my mom has the same surname she was born with even today...i am proud to have an independent woman as my mom and even more proud to have a dad who understands and respects the independence

i knw...and that is why i am rooting for nisha gangwal...after all TV has a very big role in today's society...if shown in the proper way,the soaps and ads can change ppl's perspective...

PS:same here!I don't think this changing surname is common in South India...infact it is very rare in Kerala!!!

Anu, keyaa karu yaar, teri saath majak ki elawaa kuch such tai nehi🤣

Mujhe lagthi hein, Nisha ki naam

Anu-Kumar-Sing Rathor"

Jokes apart, not only the name, girls should not lost their space in parental home. Most of the girl lost their position and right in parental home.
Mein iss bare mein bolna start kiaa tho...
issi lie choop hoon.

"ALWAYS ONLY GIRLS"
I agree with you anu...a girl changing her name..it's actually not that important..and where as by changing the sername does not mean that she has totally being moved from her family..hai na!!!!!
And according to my opinion a girl no need of changing her name to know about the responsibilities.all what needs is life experience.
And as u said she must be able to use both names too
Good post anu..Thanks...
