Why should women suffix their husband's name after marriage?

I have observed that many women, attach their husband's name after marriage. For Eg: Vidya Ramesh would change her name to Vidya Ravi after her marriage. Is it right on their part to replace her father name (Ramesh) to her husband's name (Ravi) in her name.Why should women suffix their husband's name after marriage?
It's considered appropriate in the West for a woman to take her husband's name, signifying that a new family has been created from the marriage.

Yes it is right to do but you do have the option of keeping your maiden name if you choose to.
I think it's a sexist and outdated practice, but nonetheless most women do it. It's a personal choice.
You can chose to take it, but not all American women do so. Its just a personal preference!





You could hyphenate it....Vidya Ravi-Ramesh
Its what we do!





You don't HAVE to change your last name, but most women are excited to take their husbands last name.
