Do most Americans actually change their names to match the man’s last name?

Is this the same in all western countries?

What happens in same-sex marriage? 🤔

My mom’s legal last name is still the same as her father’s last name, and we’re from China… which is kinda weird since the west is supposed to be more progressive in most areas…

I remember my teacher was like writing a note to my mom for some reason and wrote “Mrs.[My Last Name]” and I was like no, that’s wrong… that’s the first time I learn of this whole… “change last name to match the man’s last name” was apparantly a thing.

In the US, it was a tradition. If it was a law at some point I never heard about it so probably way back.

There were always exceptions to that tradition and they are becoming common. Of the same sec marriages I know, they each kept their name.

Of the different sex marriage I know, all but one changed their name but I’m an older generation from many people here. I expect my kids generation to have very different results: we’ll see in a few more years
