Context: In Islam people must be identified by their paternal lineage, meaning one’s patronym/last name/however their culture identifies paternal ancestry must tie to their father. This is because the Quran says “call them by the names of their fathers” (Quran 33:5), and while the verse was talking about adoption the principle is unanimously interpreted to apply in general.

I think when people get married they should make up their own last name. Kind of like saying your future is yours to make.
We managed to get 12 generations into our family tree. I can confirm there are more name changes and weird things happening than you think. We definitely kinda used to do this…
