A woman need to necessarily take on her husbands name after marriage. When a couple is married, each spouse is free to keep his or her own name, take the husband's or wife's name, or even use a totally different name. Some couples want to be known by a hyphenated combination of their last names, and a few even make up new names that combine elements of each. You can also pick a name that's entirely different from the names you have now, just because you like it better. However, one needs to be sure about a name before deciding on it as the current laws require a court petition for a name change.
You don't. In earlier times, women were considered property, so they took on their "owners" last name. Slaves took on their owners' last names, too; that is why not many African Americans have African last names.
Nowadays it is a choice to take on a husband's last name; some do it out of convention or tradition but it is not mandatory; some combine last names or even take on the wife's name (rare). Practices also vary in gay marriages.

The same as if she is not married - Chinese tend not to take their husbands last name when they marry.
No, in fact, you can give the baby any name you want, even a name that is totally unrelated to all three parties in the relationship.
The last name the woman had before she got married and took her husbands name (if she did).
This means the last name a woman had when she was a girl. Not yet married. It was proper for a woman to change her last name to her husbands last name after marrying. This may have changed for some women these days. They have the choice of keeping their last name or changing it.
In the United States you do not have to change your name when you get married. In fact it is very common for a woman not to.
Deen is the maiden name (given to the woman at birth because it's her father's last name) Disney is her married name (the last name of her husband)
The woman's title changes from Señorita (Miss) to Señora (Missus) (Abbreviated Sra. (Mrs))The standard traditional form for a woman's married name is simple in Spanish. She keeps her entire name up to her father's last name, then adds "de" and her husband's father's last name.In Spanish a person's name is generally has First name, Middle name, Father's last name, and Mother's last name. When married the woman would drop her mother's last name and add "de" followed by her husband's father's last name.Example:Maria Carmen Gonzalez Perez. The woman's first and middle names are Maria Carmen. Her father's last name is Gonzalez, and her maternal Grandfather's (mother's father's) last name is Perez.If this woman is married to a man named José Luis Alvarez Rodriguez, following tradition, her name Would be Sra. Maria Carmen Gonzalez de AlvarezHOWEVER!!!!!This form has fallen out of favor especially in the Western Hemisphere because the name literally means that the woman is "Of" her husband. It implies she is now his property.The tendency now is for the woman to follow the more traditional English form of changing her last name to her new husband's paternal name OR to use her father's last name as her middle name and her husband's last name as her last name.It is generally safe to call a married woman by her husband's father's last name. In the example above Srta. Gonzalez would become Sra. Alvarez.
Lucy Stone fought for woman's rights. She was the first woman to keep her last name after she got married.
No, there is no legal requirement to take a man's last name after marriage. It is a personal choice and there are no rules dictating what you must do. Many couples choose to keep their own last names or hyphenate, while some opt for one partner to take the other's last name.
