When Madhurima went to the property registration of lice, the Registrar told her, "You can't write your name as Madhurima Banerjee do A.K. Banerjee. You are married, so you must give your husband's name. Your husband's surname is Rao. So your name should be changed to Madhurima Rao." She did not agree. She said "If my husband's name has not changed after marriage, why should mine be?" In your opinion who is right in this dispute? And why?              [NCERT]                   

Answer:

Madhurima is right because she has a right to retain her maiden name as both men and women have equal rights.
