Can’t Take Your Husband’s Name in Matriarchyland
Priority News Exchange Program News Item (PNEP)

Break out the hyphens for the kids are going to have long names:

Quote:
Caroline Parent assumed she would take her husband's surname after their wedding. But the Ontario-born newlywed, who lives in Quebec, was shocked to learn that a 1981 provincial law forbids it.

Now, the Gatineau woman has written to Premier Jean Charest to complain about this aspect of Quebec's distinctiveness.
"It's unbelievable and totally unfair. Why can't I take my husband's name if I want to, like anywhere else in the country?" asked Parent in a phone interview Wednesday.
