RE: Selfless Love : Inner Peace

And marriage is no longer about ownership.. which is why women changed their last names to begin with.

This is incorrect. Perhaps in a wordly view, but marriage was once rooted in biblical traditions and so as marriage signifies the two flesh (man and woman) becoming one, so does the taking on of the man's name. I think it's a personal decision whether or not the woman decides to take the man's name. Indeed, many women decide to hold on to their names for many different reasons - and that is entirely acceptable. But it seems to me that this tradition is once again being hijacked by the feminist movement which explains why terms like "ownership" is being thrown around. I don't believe there is any evidence of a man owning his woman in western christian civilization. In islam, on the contrary, I think it's very clear that ownership of the woman is very real indeed. Which of course opens another can of worms and another conversation - the fact that their culture is simply not compatible with western civilization on a host of different issues. My two cents...
