So I learned about name change after marriage thing.
To me it's a foreign concept. Our naming system is different entirely.
In our culture, you have your given name, then your father, then his father, and so on as much as you like and end it with the surname.
Like, Alex Jonathan Frederick Alpacino xD (you can put "son of" between each name)
Of course I made it as an example.
In her, you keep your name after marriage. I've never seen anyone who changes except Christians in Egypt.
Anyway, our last name is never really last name. I have a family nickname, a family name, and a tribe name.
In fact in my ID I have two last names, but only one in my passport.
But I never go with the name in the passport, it's a nickname not a real family name. Everyone knows me by my tribe name.
My question is, since my fiance badly wants to carry her tradition about this, and wants to use my tribe name since it's a lot easier for the non Arab tongue to pronounce, can she change her name after marriage to another name based on my national id from my country, choose a name that does not match my passport, or is it obligatory to use the same last name in my passport?
