They act like it’s this sacred ancient tradition when in reality it was introduced in the 1800s to copy British and American culture. Also what it’s this obsession with women changing their surname to keep family ties when a lot of the countries where they do change it are the most individualistic on earth? Meanwhile the countries where this doesn’t happen (italy, Spain, virtually every country with a catholic history) are way more known for their strong family ties?
Her husband can take her last name. I’ve met Japanese couples who have done this because the wife’s family had high level ancestry. Everyone knows this, so it’s a totally viable option if they are hung up on having the same last name.

You cannot choose your name. Everything must be controlled by the government.
