There's tradition when a family has only daughters and the oldest daughter marries, her husband takes her family name.

- all2 3y agoWho's tradition? This sounds fascinating.
- naniwaduni 3y agoWhile I can't speak for what specific tradition GP might have been thinking of, but it seems like a special case of what happens in systems where typically a bride marries "into" a groom's family, with the occasional exception where a groom marries into the bride's family for e.g. inheritance purposes. This is globally quite common in cultures where inheritance is relevant with male preference.
