Paragraph 1
A court in South Africa has said a
can take his wife's
or have a double-
name. The country's Births and Deaths Registration Act had required a
to apply to the government to take his wife's
. Even then, there was no
it would happen. A
was denied in many
. The new rule says stopping a man from taking his spouse's
name was gender discrimination. It says a man has the right to take the
name of his wife.
