Go to the municipality office and apply for a sweeper’s position”. This is a total violation of my rights and it is unfair.

8. When Madhurima went to the property registration office, the Registrar told her. “You can’t write your name as Madhurima Banerjee d/o A. K. Banerjee. You are married, so you must give your husband’s name. Your husband’s surname is Rao. So your name should be changed to Madhurima Rao.” She did not agree. She said “If my husband’s name has not changed after marriage, why should mine?” In your opinion who is right in this dispute? And why?

Answer: In this dispute, Madhurima’s opinion is correct as Madhurima has got all the right to retain her maiden name to ensure gender equality. In a democratic country like India, every citizen enjoys the right to equality. Therefore, whether it is the marital status or unmarried a girl has all the right to retain her father’s name.
