Is it sinful for a woman to change her last name when getting married?
Question:
I'm not sure if this relates to Christianity, but is it a sin to not get one's last name legally changed after getting married, if you're a woman?
Answer:
There is nothing unscriptural about the practice, which is cultural. There is nothing wrong with changing names. There are several Bible characters whose names were changed:
- Abram - Abraham
- Sarai - Sarah
- Jacob - Israel
- Simon - Peter
