You may know this, but many women (Muslim women in particular) do not take their husband’s names. I remember assuming that my to-be sister-in-law would and she got very offended.

My Mother-in-law has a name that carries nothing of either her father or husband. It is her individual name. Just thought I’d share a global perspective.
