It is. And young women are kind of forced into it as part of the conventional ideas of marriage and weddings. I didn't change my last name, because I married an asshole who wanted me to feel bad for wanting "normal" things like that, which is another story, and in the end I'm very glad I didn't, but my narcissistic mother was OBSESSED with me changing my name.
