Man files lawsuit to take wife's name

[Guest Daave]

A young woman is under her father's authority, she has his last name, he is her father.

When she marries she leaves her father's name, and authority behind. She takes her husband's authority and name.

I feel for the young woman who keeps her father's name and takes her husbands as well. Then she is under the authority of both.

A young man takes his wifes name? Now he too is under her father's authority. Weak man.

At least provide scripture since you made such an assertion! After all it comes down to what is written, and that would at least accumulatively be the scope of scripture. You wanna discuss the written?

With the worldly just about anything goes doesn't it?

actually, you may have been closer in guessing than i was. although to ME, the name itself is embarrassing, apparently in their case the motivation is to carry on her family name.

Bijon, 28, approached Buday about the idea when they were dating. She had no brothers but wanted to prolong the family name. Buday, a 29-year-old developer of interactive advertising, was estranged from his own father and was not attached to his own last name.

"Diana and I feel strongly about gender equality for both men and women," Buday said. "I think the most important thing in all of this is to bring it to a new level of awareness."

Bijon [bichon] = small white dog

Tough decision on the surnames.

you'd rather your kids be referred to as a toilet than a small white dog? ok, but i wouldn't!

gender equality i disagree with. but one of the reasons they gave for wanting to do this is to carry on the family name (hers). i see nothing wrong with that aspect. not to mention i still think the name buday would be a horrible name to pass on.

Yes, God has put the husband as the head of the household, but what on earth keeps him from being the head of the household if he takes his wife's last name? Absolutely nothing, if you ask me. They are not dependant on one another. Sure we may individually view it as symbolic of that, but a few people's idea of symbolism does not make it a law.

The father is the head of his children? I opened a thread, in Doctrinal questions for discussing, 'who is the head of God's children?'...

Would you rather the children be head of the household? No. God is a God of order and He set order in the household for a purpose. Christ is the head of the church as a godly husband is the head of his family.

...God is a God of order and He set order in the household for a purpose. Christ is the head of the church as a godly husband is the head of his family.

We can discuss this in doctrinal questions in 'Christ's children' if you like.
