Until the 1950s, by law in Hungary the wives would take the husband’s full name. Júlia Kovacs would marry András Boráros and become Andrásné Broráros. Sexist and incredibly silly in my opinion.
Nowadays they can chose to keep their name, change it fully or change their last name. I still find a lot of women that change their names fully and it’s so confusing.
From 2004, men can also chose to change their names on the same rules.
