Wives should adopt their husband's surname

Females with higher education, especially ones with titles such as "engineer" always advise to keep the name, what is written in your diploma.
Myself, I can never adopt another name, since I'm not someone's property.

I have a degree my maiden name is written on it, but I don't think that at this stage I have to worry about changing it. people understand that women do take their partners name. However if you have been using your name for business purposes or if you have published papers in your maiden name then it becomes more difficult. In that case I think that you should change your name but keep your maiden name for professional purposes.

I read this newspaper article about a guy who had the damndest time being allowed to take his wife's last name. This is all well and good, but there's only one problem... He's not really taking her name, so much as he's TAKING HER FATHER'S NAME!
It's not really revolutionary if you're ultimately just taking another man's surname.

Patrilineality does not necessitate ownership of females. I'd like to know what you mean by "tradition Aryan[s]." Granted I'm not familiar with all of the branches of the Indo-European tree, but I do know that women held rather high social positions among the Celtic and Germanic tribes, a societal feature that remained until the imposition of Christianity relegated women to the status of property.
