Many young women do not prefer to take their husband’s last name, according to a survey conducted by Yougov, informs The British Daily The Times.
This practice, which consists of taking her husband’s last name during the marriage, is less and less acclaimed with the women of the generation and the Z generation, according to the limitation of this study conducted with 2,192 adults in Britain.
In fact, many are attracted to less traditional alternatives, such as the fact that the two partners retain their original surname or create a last name.
In total, 35% of women between 18 and 34 said they would join this tradition against 61% of women 65 years of age or older.
Men choose the traditional option
On the men’s side, the question is quickly resolved: only 4% of young people aged 18 to 34 would like to take the name of their wife and 1% of 65 or more. They clearly mark their preference for their spouse to take their name: 55% of men aged 18 to 34 vibrated this election and up to 60% of men 65 years of age or older.
Women from 18 to 34 are the age category that added more than the alternatives to tradition. There are 24% to resort to the choice of each spouses to maintain their last name, against 14% for women 65 years or older.
In France, spouses retain their last name, registered in their birth certificate. When marrying, it is possible to choose a common name that may be the name of her husband or wife, or add to her own name the name of her husband or wife.
