It is a common custom in the west and also among muslims that after marriage, women drop their father’s name....
There is no blood tie between the husband and wife, so how can she take his surname as if she is part of the same lineage?
She may get divorced, or her husband may die, and she may marry another man.
Will she keep changing her surname every time she marries another man?
There are rulings attached to her being named after her father, which have to do with inheritance, spending and who is a mahram, etc.
Taking her husband’s surname overlooks all that.
The husband is named after his own father, and what does she have to do with the lineage of her husband’s father?
This goes against common sense and true facts.
The husband has nothing that makes him better than his wife so that she should take his surname, whilst he takes his father’s name.
