You thank him for what exactly? You guys don't know the historical facts behind this primitive ideology and the judge is explaining things to you and you are still displaying your ignorance. In the past in some cultures, especially in the English culture, the moment a woman got married, she became like a teenage (not even an adult) child of her husband. If she came with wealth, both herself and her wealth became the legal personal property of her husband. He had the right to buy whatever he wanted from her wealth but she had no right to buy anything for herself from her own wealth without first asking his permission. And this is why she was obliged to adopt his name when they got married - because she was like her husband's (adopted) child. Which is why you don't see a Queen adopting her husband's name, not even in the olden days - because she is not under anyone.

You embrace what is helpful, bro. I have friends who have changed their names and I know the stress they go through. So, are you saying for the sake of your ego, your wife should by all means change her name, whether omitting hers completely or adding your to hers, when she considers it an inconvenience. If she wants to fine. Why not? But the whole point is, it shouldn't be a cause of marital fights as is happening in many homes. That's our the judge is saying, my brother. What he said is anti-family. Marriage is all about mutual agreement, not one forcing his selfish opinion on the other. Even in the case of the children, don't they sometimes go by hyphenated names of both dad and mum? It's about time we grow up us men and stop being so domineering. If it's against our law as a country or against God's law, then there is a problem, but not when nothing obligates them, please.

There is nothing like outdated for women to use their husbands names as last name. Even world leaders wives uses their husband's named as last names. This is the right thing because it's a linage name. This is the name their family will be identified with. And legally how can the woman stand perhaps when there is conflict of ownership at the absence of the man. She could be denied by wicked husband's relatives of her legal right as a woman.
So you will tell Rebbacca Akufo Addo not to use her husband's named as last name? Especially when the name is a household name. This teaching is wrong and it shouldn't be coming from a high court judge. Women married and joined their husband as one. Telling them to be answering their own name is a wrong speech and this is absolutely unnecessary to bring such matters to the media to discuss. Women are never marginalized by using their husbands names. How do we know Nkrumah children if they didn't answer their father's names or how do history identify his wife? How do we know Theresa kuffor and ageymah Rawlings wife if they didn't answer their husbands names? This view is just one sided and it is projected to encourage women who are feminist and want to live without a man. Many are doing it giving birth through artificial insemination and latter hiring a boyfriend to look like a father. We are Africans. And even Michelle Obama answered her husband's name. Please stop teaching feminism. Most single women cry secretly because there is a role of a father whether we like it or not

Then again, doesn't the bible talk about a man and woman coming together as a single body after marriage? Doesn't using a single name a significant to that effect?. Isn't man head of the family and there fair for his surname for the entire family? Why wouldn't he therefore quest for the reason why children from the marriage also use the fathers name as their family name? Very idiotic to comment on such traditional and purposeful practice.

look,
married is between 2 persons man and a woman,
if after married the woman want to take her Husband surname leave the loved couple to do what pleases them.
if the marriage collapsed , in principle the woman got the surname from the man, so must decouple herself from that surname.
The reason behind it in other jurisdiction is
in other jurisdiction - they believe that
since you are a christian and in the bible Men are the head of the family,
they considered the family name as the surname of the man.
That is why in principle
the whole family could be identify by the family name which is the surname of the Man.
it is reasonable but not compulsory to decouple your surname if you are no more families .
I have red the mind of the devil - they are bringing this at this time on board because of gay marriage,
because that legitimate question has been raised in defending true marriage and family values at the Uno family values in a question and answers form.

Women for very long time were treated as commodities owned by men. So after marriage you adopt the name of your owner. After divorce you drop the name because you are set free, then she takes her maiden name back until a new owner comes. In France, women were considered as incapable adults, they were not allowed to vote and not to open bank accounts. Your wife is not your child, she is the child of another man, you procreate with your wife to have your own children and name them. The best thing is for the wife to maintain her maiden name and add her husband's surname if he insists

Our problem in Ghana, is "Sua Tra". Just look at the way girls call themselves at school now, We had Fosu- Fosuwaa, Owusu-Owusuaa, Frimpong-Frimpongaa etc. The English /British never, ever forced us to change that. We did that ourselves by calling girls Akosua Fosu, Abena Owusu, Adwoa Frimpong etc simply because the teacher taught she should use the fathers name.

The Christian bible is not an authentic book to serve as a measuring rod. Monogamy, Christianity, and democracy distorted the cultural heritage of Africa.

Well said Mr Lawyer. Is Alexander a Ghanaian local name or a borrowed name? Don't tell me it is your Christian name. Why was your Rev. Pastor/ Father not allowed to baptize you on your local name Osei or whatever? Does the name Alexander make you more of a follower of Christ or what? Please allow people to do whatever they want to do with their marriage, if that doesn't make them fornicate or engage in extra marrital affairs.
What is your point and what do you aim at, Mr. High Court Judge?
Don’t mind the judge. He should throw away his wig and gown together with the English language first.
Thank you puffer fish Napo.
You thank him for what exactly? You guys don't know the historical facts behind this primitive ideology and the judge is explaining things to you and you are still displaying your ignorance. In the past in some cultures, espe ...

That is of the English the English signifies servitude but in the case of Africa is signifies oneness a woman adapting the surname of her husband makes her a full member of the family and inseparatable.
Dont be surprised that this judge is a freemason under the hood of a judge to speak as being the law but really is an agent
@Quinn. Do away with all borrowed culture and practices, including engineering and technology that did not originate from your ancestors. That will mean going back to living in mud houses with thatch roofs with no electricity ...

I think the point is simple. A woman is not obligated to change her name after marriage.
I think this judge is smoking wee

Another idiot. You sat there to support political judges to rule that a birth certificate must not be recognized as being a Ghanaian and now here you are.
I vet he he had some shit soup (akrantie soup) with fufu.
There is nothing like outdated for women to use their husbands names as last name. Even world leaders wives uses their husband's named as last names. This is the right thing because it's a linage name. This is the name their ...

I like the 'we are Africans' part. I will like to point it out to you Africans initially did not have that custom. We were still very functional. People knew whose father was who.
Who told you that Africans did not have that custom? Say that your village doesn't have that custom but don't generalize it because many parts of Africa have it. Do you know the Dagaaba's or Frafra's or Dagomba or Ewe's or et ...

Please keep those advice or opinions to yourself and family please. I don’t know what is wrong with you people. I will not be surprised your wife is not using your surname so you want other people to follow you. Idiot.
A whole high court judge putting forth such lame argument? Joseph is the first name of Mary's husband so she could not have used same as a surname
Totally nonsense of a so-called judge who aims at a mere recognition and fame. Talking about Eve and Mary, did he ever hear of Joseph's surname or that Adams'?
Then again, doesn't the bible talk about a man and woman coming ...

This thing of man and woman becoming a single body after marriage should not be taken to mean everything. Which man and his wife have you ever seen as one body? Let's get knowledge
QUEEN ELIZABETH NEVER CHANGED HER NAME

Whether or not wives adopt their husband's names, it doesn't put food on the table. Our problems in Ghana is all about bread and butter issues not what is outdated or current.

Hahahaha I like the way you put it! This judge has been compromised by an ambitious woman
That's his opinion out of the millions on the earth. It's a choice that he can make with his wife. Even those that brought us education haven't dropped it. Not Mrs. Obama
Hahaha Mrs Obama ? You mean the first black transgender to become th first Lady?
CRAZY BALDHEAD !! HAHAHA !!
He’s right !
This was never part of our culture !

InFact bro i’m an Ashanti and you hit the hard truth. You said the whole truth. I never knew there were some intelligent people like you in Ghana @Ewvevi. Thank you and I bet truly judge washes her wife panties for real..
Bam!!!,Bam!!!,Bam!!!
If this judge's opinion is anything to go by, then, by the same logic, payment of dowry or bride price is also outdated!
I hope he is not subtly pushing an agenda. This call is already flawed.
Oh, but it is. Aren't people marrying in court without any tradition wedding or engagement? The law recognizes those marriages even though bride price hasn't been paid. In the nutshell, the important thing is, the law does no ...

WHAT IS MORE OUTDATED THAN THE UGLY HOOD THESE PEOPLE WEAR IN COURT?
And if you care to know, it was perhaps this Justice who bonked Afia Schwarzenegger@17.
This is a stupid and childish statement as a judge. Instead of just explaining how it works and options for all look at him.
look at what he is saying you guys sef with our warm weather wear black gown and wig. which is more outmoded. Some people just seemed to like domestic fights.
He has said nothing insightful
This how gayism and gay rights started,Mr high court judge come again.
And this thing is a high court judge? Did he pass any exams or he was an apprentice just like akufo addo
Don't be too impressed by PHD and degree holders anymore.
Graduates are no longer the most educated.They're just the most indoctrinated. If this man is a judge know the reason the world is on chaos.
Just as the Church is united with Christ and bears His name, so too does a woman, upon marriage, enter into a new spiritual union and take her husband's name. By adopting her husband's name, a woman aligns herself with the bi ...

Go and tell your chief justice that.
Marriage is a friendly relationship. Adopting a husband’s surname is an insult to the family name of the woman.
Jack you can't impose your warped on any body, you are ugly and no sensible woman will adopt your mutumbanza surname ofui
Another PhD empty Headed pig
If you don't like what goes with white-weddings then stop having them and let us keep to our culture so we can marry many women and the. Everyone keeps her name too.
stupid comment Mr. judge. Does your literature review gave any time frame as to when adopting legal marriage surname gets outdated? Did you craft institutional laws. The judiciary system in Ghana has not been able to authenti ...

Adoption of husband’s name after marriage is a personal decision,some adopt some don’t,whether traditional or court marriage.My Lordship don’t bring trouble where there’s non.
Women for very long time were treated as commodities owned by men. So after marriage you adopt the name of your owner. After divorce you drop the name because you are set free, then she takes her maiden name back until a new ...

Na papa no wagyimi anaa? Then weddings too are outdated. All marriage should be customary. Where the man can marry more
Courts will soon be outdated too as the white man brought those laws. We have to go back to the rule of Chiefs and family heads. I magine how messed up the courts are. Let us go back to the days before the whiteman came.
Remove those nasty wigs you were as judges and lawyers and after come back let's discuss this. Rubbish!!
