I don’t mean this as a “gotcha”, but my understanding is that in the vast majority of places where marriage doesn’t change names, the children are still always named after the parent with an outie. I just want to push back against this “western bad” meme.
Are there even many other countries besides the US that do this? aAways found it the weirdest thing.
They do it in other English-speaking countries for sure.
I believe most countries in Central Europe do it. But it’s also possible to take the wife‘s name of course
