22. Changing Name after Marriage婚后改名 [00:03.65]Getting married is one of the most important decisions [00:08.64]that a person takes in one's life. [00:10.83]This is because it is a step [00:13.27]that has the potential to alter or change one's life altogether. [00:17.23]Right from the wedding dress to the house [00:20.45]that the couple will live after their wedding, [00:22.38]is decided with utmost care. [00:24.83]An important decision that the person has to make [00:28.29]along with the other arrangements for the wedding [00:30.64]is to choose between one's maiden name and spouse's name. [00:35.25]Though traditionally, women are expected to change their name [00:39.16]from their maiden name to their husband's name, [00:42.18]many women nowadays [00:44.16]opt to keep their maiden name after marriage, [00:46.96]mostly for professional reasons. [00:49.29]Apart from this, [00:50.57]there are women who adopt their husband's last name [00:53.52]and keep their maiden name as their second name. [00:56.75]Also, there are couples who make a new name [00:59.99]with both their names, [01:01.62]by separating the names with a hyphen. [01:04.16]
