Conservatives are up in arms after the government announced that children will no longer automatically have to take their father s surname.
The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is scrapping a law requiring children to be given their father s surname whether the mother agrees or not.
Proponents say the law simply expands the legal definition of a family by taking account of changing times and the growing number of single mothers, but opponents say the country is not ready for what they feel is the thin end of a wedge driven into the very fabric of the country s traditional clan structure.
