This question is also misogynist. My mother does not have a "maiden name" she has a "last name", which has always been the same. It's not the 1950s, women don't have to subjugate themselves to their husbands name anymore.

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoNo. But in those countries, one's mother still had a family name at birth that is different from one's own (in almost all cases), whether she changed it at marriage or not.
