Why Do Women Divorcees Still Bear Their Ex Husband's Name After Divorce by seyi360(m): 10:15am On Aug 24, 2020 |
I have noticed the trend amongst most women divorcees. Perhaps they don't want to draw attention and investigative questions from friends to themselves . For whatever reason, they are just reluctant to drop the name and revert to their father's name. I thought dropping the man's name is part of the divorce package. |

seyi360: Real divorce from a higher court drops name Customary divorce to me is like a separation that will lead to legal divorce and so may or may not continue to bear his name |

frozen70:You don’t have to drop your ex-husband’s last name after any type of divorce. No man/court can compel the woman to drop the name, it’s her name and she can do what she wants with it. OP, some keep it for.. a. They’ve had it for a while and are used to it. b. Hassle of changing it. c. Consistency, they want to have same last name with their kids. d. Prestigious last name. e. The woman has created a successful business with the name. f. It’s a nice name. The only Nigerian woman I can think of is Senator Ita-Giwa, even though she was married to Dele Giwa for 10 seconds. 12 Likes |

liberalchick: The choice of dropping an ex name goes two ways It's either both parties agrees she keeps the me after divorce Or she drops the me for her to return to her maiden name and either remarry bear the new husband's name or retains her maiden name There is nothing like she bears it before and there is no big deal about it |

frozen70:That’s not how it works, there’s nothing like “both parties agree” the name is the woman’s and she can do with it whatever she wants. Keep it or not keep it. Nobody can force her not to use it, it’s literally a name. 3 Likes |

Most of the time, the names are on official documents etc. So it's difficult to change or alter. I have a family member, who is divorced and she told us she will change her name but that will be after her retirement. Due to the facts that, some of her certificates and the bank she uses especially the one connected to her pay slip is on her husband's name. And that's not so easy to change. 3 Likes |

Is only in Nigeria a woman will be divorced and still be carrying the man's name like gala on their heads. I remember asking a woman in my office why she was still bearing her hubby's name and she told me to ward off all those ogas in the office who once they know she is divorced will be on her neck. Some women say they keep the name because of their kids. We Sha know it is mainly because of societal stigmatization divorcees go through. |

1. Too much paper work abeg. All credentials acquired during marriage will have to be changed? ![]() 2. To identify with the child’s/children’s last name. 3. To differentiate from single-single/never married. 4. Divorce does not mean you have to change your name. All about choice. ![]() I will take my time to change my name. No rush.

yourgistpartner:FALSE She changed her name because she wanted to not because of a court order. Also, we know she changed it on her social media but officially we don’t know if she really did. Celebrities say they take people to court all the time but they never do. No court will ever tell you to stop using your own name. 5 Likes |

They shouldn’t change it. Let him cry and wail. After all, if she doesn’t drop her father’s name, he will come online to create thread and bride-price-pipu will not allow us hear word. Hold the name, make e cry well well. I like Senator Ita Giwa for that. ![]() 9 Likes

1. Change of name is soooooo stressful 2. Some women want to bear same name with their kids 3. Some women have built influence with his surname 4. His surname open doors The husband is within his rights to demand his ex drops his surname though. |

Lol, if na so the man name dey sweet dem to use, they should have done more to make their marriages work na. Maybe these women who don't change their surnames after a divorce are still full of regret, perhaps they miss being a Mrs. Somebody. Being married must have meant a lot to them, yet dem still run comot from inside, women sef.. I mean if you really hated your husband that much and couldn't stand being married to him, that you then had to divorce him, shouldn't his name be irritating to you? Shouldn't you be doing everything possible to drop it no matter the processes it takes? An opportunist will always be an opportunist sha. Do divorced women plan to keep using the ex-husband's surname even after they have remarried another man? Shey dem no go change am las las? It's like some of these women don't even have sense at all. 6 Likes |

crackhaus: Story!! What's in a name that you guys are so fixated on? I know someone whose surname is Taiye, got married to a man whose surname is also Taiye. So what is there to change if they divorce?? Abeg the major reason is the stress involved in changing names especially on documents. 3 Likes |
