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.
My wife kept her last name because she’s a published academic, but her last name is a slang word for something related to genitals (won’t dox myself here) so we agreed any kids we have get my last name.

My wife’s last name was Wang. She was planning on taking her husband’s last name her whole life. Joke’s on her.
