South African men can now take their wives' surname.

Sibongile Mofokeng and Pastor Gladwell Zabane discuss the sensitive issue of South African men now being able to take their wives' surnames following the Constitutional Court ruling in September 2025. Pastor Zabane points out that the Bible is silent on this matter, as people in biblical times were usually identified by their place of origin or birth rather than surnames. He emphasizes that what matters most in a marriage is how spouses treat each other, referencing the biblical call for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and for wives to submit to their husbands. This highlights that the foundation of a healthy marriage lies not in names but in mutual respect and love.
