Will women ever achieve complete equality with men as long as a surname change is part of the marriage tradition?

Yesterday I bought HS yearbooks from a town neighboring my hometown. One was from the same year I graduated, and I thought it would be fun to look through and see if I know any of those people today. Then it came to me that only the men would be familiar, as in matching a name and face. All most all of the women would have married and tossed away their family heritage.

This then led to thoughts of Kim Davis (no marriage license to gays) who is four times removed from her own family line. So much for family, roots, and tradition. Surely there are time when she skips a beat on knowing her own name. Sad.

Taking the husband’s last name is a religious tradition. If we’re all to achieve equality shouldn’t civil union be the norm, and religious marriage the custom, tradition?
