Husbands Can Now Take Wives’ Surnames: South Africa’s Top Court Overturns Colonial-Era Naming Law

Brief by Shorts91 Newsdesk / 11:33am on 12 Sep 2025,Friday International

South Africa’s Constitutional Court has struck down a discriminatory law that barred husbands from adopting their wives’ surnames, calling it a “colonial import” rooted in gender bias. The ruling came after two couples challenged the Births and Deaths Registration Act, arguing it violated constitutional equality. The court acknowledged that in many African cultures, women traditionally retained their birth names after marriage, a practice disrupted by European colonizers and Western norms. Parliament is now tasked with amending the Act and its regulations to reflect the court’s decision. This landmark ruling marks a significant step toward dismantling colonial legacies and affirming gender equality in South African legal identity. (PC: Mom Junction)
