From Ynet:

“A hyphenated last name for women undermines family values,” head of the Zomet institute Rabbi Yisrael Rozen writes in an article to be published in the Shabbat Beshabbato leaflet this weekend…

…Rozen claims that he sympathizes with women’s desire to preserve a link to their familial heritage, and the need of career women to maintain their reputation, but adds that the trend is founded on “a feminist message which strays from the patriarchal tradition and makes a statement that women are not the husband’s property.”

I should point out that my wife is not the type to use her last name to make a statement that she is not her husband’s property. She prefers direct statements, like, “I am not my husband’s property.”
