I'm glad you came up with another masterpiece that had me pondering over this issue once again after such a long time(I had asked the same question to my kins when I was 15 yrs old to be only mocked by them)

The expectation that women adopt their husband’s surname at marriage is fundamentally rooted in patriarchal marital traditions. For me, it represents the transfer of women’s subservience from father to husband, the subjugation of women’s identities to those of men. Women are not only required to acquire two separate surname but also two inevitable middle names and that really irks me..

I also think this tradition is also profoundly heterosexist, leaving same-sex couples with no clear norms regarding surname choice(This is just my opinion)

You have raised a very valid point through this OS Sujz..This is the real issue that deserves attention...

I was quite impressed and literally in awe with Bondita's judicial tone of mind...Her Patibabu also was stupefied..I loved the part where Ani made changes to her name and the smile that crept over Bon's face was priceless...😳

I want India to come up with a civil code similar to Japan, which is the only developed country to require that the married couple must choose either the husband's or the wife's surname upon marriage..

Overall, the OS was quite intriguing and this time the subject of your OS took all the credits..Kudos to you Sujz!!👍🏼

Waiting for the next update...❤️

PS: I'm very sorry for the delayed response Sujz..I was so busy with my projects that I've been barely able to take care of other things over the last few weeks...I hope you understand..!

Bold and Italic: you echoed my sentiments. I would prefer them without any surname actually.

So glad we are all kindred spirits here!!

Yes. Yes. Of course I got it. It's a complicated question to approach in real life, let alone fiction. And yup, I understand how u wanted Bon's Q to trigger Ani to tackle it. It's a great approach.👏 I was just wondering about this issue in general, that's all😆

I know, even I wonder and I also has an OS Idea in my mind about this surname thing.

Thoughtfully written and beautifully conveyed Sujz.

It always intrigued me on the surname changes. It's on going debate on not only in india but western culture too.

I'm glad this practice is not followed in my part of the world. I still use my dad's name as surname because legally he had my name registered as such as part of common practice. Usually I sign off with my own at work or etc. It doesn't change after marriage.

The current crop of parents like my brother and friends generally had their kids name registered without the farther's name at the back. They are only known by their own name.

It's might be just a name but it's an important part of a person's identity. At our subconcious level, we always address ourselves by our name when we are internalizing our thoughts. To change it after being called as one to another is smthing unimaginable at least for me.

Finally refreshing the site did the trick. 😆 Also thanks for sharing the link with me. 🤗

Firstly what a gorgeous edit you made for this one shot it's lovely. ❤️

You have raised a valid question through Bondita, girls don't have their own identity, before wedding she's known by her father's surname, post wedding she takes up her husband's. 😵

But what about her individuality?

Anyway, I could see this play before my eyes, because you have penned it down beautifully Sujz, you've encapsulated the essence of the show amazingly well. Kudos. 👏

Aniruddh even I'm waiting for the answer. 😆

@bold Thanks

@bold2.0 I guess in most parts of the world children are known by their father's identity, regardless of gender but in some parts (including my community) are matrilineal. Its a worldwide issue which is very complex to be honest. I cannot put it in any category considering these social institutions have both sides as patrilineal and matrilineal and I kept that discussion between our society changers for another day.

Well I have an answer from Aniruddh's part but left it for you guys to think.

Lovely... Bon's intelligence has no boundaries. No wonder she is always curious with no nonsense question. You have written a fantastic os, Sujz.

Isn't it a question almost every girl asks to her parents and in laws but still accept the changes a marriage brings with it. How beautiful had it been if marriage didn't call for any compromises from neither sides...😇

Felt proud of Bon for raising question and of Ani for addressing it.👏

Loved this os🤗

Thank You dear😊

Thank You so much.😊
