Well--Burmese women never change their name--never wear wedding rings--
AI Overview
Learn more…
Women who choose not to change their last name after marriage and don't wear wedding rings are often expressing a personal preference for maintaining their individual identity and not relying solely on traditional symbols to signify their marital status; this could be due to feminist beliefs, a desire for professional autonomy, or simply a personal choice not to conform to societal expectations about marriage.
Key points to consider:
Feminist perspective:
Some women see keeping their own name as a way to assert their independence and not be seen as solely defined by their marital status.
Professional reasons:
In certain fields, keeping one's maiden name might be seen as more advantageous for career progression.
Personal preference:
Not everyone feels the need to wear a wedding ring to publicly declare their marital status, and may simply not enjoy wearing jewelry.
