Your Honor, the plaintiff has every right to keep her last name, a name deeply connected to her identity and heritage. She has clearly communicated her reasons, rooted in her personal history and cultural background. Forcing her to change it disregards her feelings and autonomy. Her boyfriend is being insecure and unreasonable.
Your Honor, the plaintiff is being selfish and insensitive. Marriage is about unity and building a shared identity, symbolized by sharing a last name. Her refusal disregards her boyfriend's feelings and creates unnecessary tension in the relationship. The plaintiff's claim that it is for cultural reasons is just an excuse to get her way.
The court acknowledges both parties' perspectives. The plaintiff has valid reasons for wanting to keep her last name, stemming from her personal history and cultural identity. However, the boyfriend's feelings are also valid, as sharing a last name can symbolize unity in a marriage. While the plaintiff has the right to choose, dismissing her partner's feelings is insensitive. The court finds the boyfriend's emotional reaction somewhat excessive but understandable. She should have been more understanding and sensitive to his feelings.
