According to Kazakhstan media reports, more and more women in the country now decide to keep their last name after marriage and not follow their husbands' last name.


Why do women not want to take their husband's surname? If a woman decides to take her husband's last name, do she need to change all the documents? Does the strength of a marriage depend on whom?


Yana Suleimanova Dubrovskaya has a double last name.


"My father has 3 children, my younger sister took her husband's surname, and my brother has no children. I retained my last name. My spouse has no objection to this issue, so he reacted plainly. It is important for us to keep the last name. Let him choose who his son wants to take in the future." Yana said.


"Whether to change your surname depends on the girl himself." Yana said, "On this kind of issue, others have no right to make decisions for you. In my opinion, it is unfair for the mother to leave nothing after the child is born. I hope to be equal. If you look at history, you will find that in some periods, women are only possessed objects and have not left traces on the wheel of history. Now is the time to change."


Psychologist Yerjiang Melzabayev said that changing surnames does not affect women's self-cognition.


"In ancient times, when a woman was strongly dependent on a man, she had to adopt his last name. Now women are independent. Sometimes women's last name is much louder in society than their husband's last name." Yerjiang Melzabayev.


"Whether to change the surname or not is the choice of every woman. Some people like to use their husband's surname, and some people are inconvenient to change for professional reasons. No matter what, it will not affect the happiness of the family." said a psychologist.


Ali-Farabib University PhD and associate professor of psychology, Mela Kabakova, pointed out that there are many reasons why women do not change their surnames. First of all, if the diploma is obtained before marriage, you must submit a copy of marriage certificate with a new surname every time you use it. Secondly, when the marital status is unstable, the woman does not change her surname for the sake of convenience in the future. Third, if a woman succeeds in a certain field, her first and last name will be recognized by everyone.


lawyer Yermek Koshnov explained that according to Marriage Law , spouses can keep their last name, choose one of the last names as their common last name, or combine the last names of the two into a new last name.


"If you change your surname, you must change your ID card, passport, driver's license, bank card, etc. The house book does not need to be changed. You can just show your marriage certificate when selling the house. In addition, the personal identification number does not need to be changed." The lawyer introduced.
