Women will you allow your hubby to bear your surname instead of his?
American actress Zoe Saldana has responded to criticism following her husband's decision to adopt her surname after marriage. It's usually women who take their partner's name - but are things changing?
"Why is it so surprising, shocking- eventful that a man would take his wife's surname?," asks Zoe Saldana on her Facebook page.
"Men, you will not cease to exist by taking your partner's surname. On the contrary you will be remembered as a man who stood by change," she writes.
More women are keeping their surnames, or hyphenating them with their partners', but the patriarchal tradition of a man holding onto his prevails.
