@_DebbieOA and Abalaka was an honourable man in the community. But I'm the only one whose child bears the name.
We must understand that surname means family name, which can be traced to your family lineage.
Surname is not your husband's name or father's name. It's a heritage.
@_DebbieOA There's a misconception that the husband's name dies if the kids don't bear his surname. So you see cousins bear different surnames, and the family name fizzles out.
It's a matter in my family as all my males cousin's children bear different surnames,
@TDeisine Marriage is a mystery and until it is untavelled we will keep doing things our own way. Husband and wife going to different "church" negates the CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE.
