now the above article I beleive is old one and it is talking about IL law in US.But I thought to share that how things have changed and what probelms women faced because of keeping maiden name.
When I got married, I struggled with the name question. Having two different last names in a household would have been too complicated, and a hyphenated name felt cumbersome. I took my husband's last name and use my maiden name as a middle name, and I have never regretted this decision. Especially now that we have a children, I like the fact that we all have the same last name; but my own family name is still there like my history and everything else about me that I cannot just edit away.
