““Opposite-Sex Marriages”........really?!?!?”
That was the first thing that struck me.
That whole article was probaby written just to use that phraseology, to try to mainstream it and make it the default referene for marriage and finally end our cultural view of what marriage is.

I checked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs to see why Hispanic women kept their name so often. It said that women in Spain and most of Latin America generally do not take their husbands' names. 
Like Miranda Veracruz De La Hoya Cardinal.

First thing that got my attention. Same sex marriages?
And then...
" The numbers of women and men in same-sex marriages in the sample are too small to analyze separately. "

It must be hell living with that.

There are good and obvious reasons for a wife taking her husbands name but we ought to go back to something they used to do in the past: Using her maiden name on her tombstone. While the generation that knew her doesn’t need the info subsequent generations often do. Tombstones go from being markers placed by the bereaved to all the history anyone has, very quickly.
Beloved husband Tom Smith/Beloved wife Jane Jones.

Well... who wants their children to be ‘nameless’.. I mean, bas&^rds?
Why does the fundamental and strictly legitimate basis of marriage and family escape some people?

The convention was to use “née” (French for born), then the maiden name.

30% of Hispanic women say they kept their last nameCouldn't that be simply explained as a hold-over from the Hispanic culture? Isn't it tradition in Spain, etc. to not entirely discard the wife's surname?

Example:
President Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. né Leslie Lynch King Jr.

The diamond wedding ring is just an old tradition as well. No need to retain. A plain gold band will suffice.

Does anyone really believe this nonsense “study”?
