Actress Mary Remmy Njoku Advocates for Women’s Choice in Retaining Married Surnames

Published

on

Renowned actress and movie producer Mary Remmy Njoku has sparked a conversation about women’s autonomy and choices in marital nomenclature, advocating that women should have the option to retain their surnames even after the dissolution of a marriage.

In a recent statement, Njoku emphasized that women have invested considerable time and effort in building a name for themselves over the years. Hence, they should not be obligated to discard it simply because their marital status changes.

The actress, known for her thought-provoking perspectives, argued against the societal expectation that compels women to drop their husband’s surname following a divorce. Njoku believes that a woman’s identity, reflected in her name, should be respected and not be contingent on the status of her marital union.

She further expressed her stance on the matter by asserting that a mother should not be coerced into having a different surname from her underage children unless she willingly chooses to alter their names. This viewpoint challenges the traditional norms associated with women’s identity changes after marriage or divorce.
