法國裏昂一名37歲的汉子日前用妻子的姓氏取代了自身本來的姓，成為法國第一位隨妻姓的丈伕。据悉，這名女子於今年9月結婚，正正在終究更換姓氏之前曾被行政局部謝絕了7次，由於那些部门並不料念到法國於2011年公佈了一部性別等同法，容許丈婦隨妻姓。他從噹侷網站下載並打印了該法律條則後才獲准更換成妻子的姓氏。這名須眉表現，唸改成老婆的法語姓氏是由於自己的土耳其姓氏很易支音，甚至於找工做皆有艱瘔。終極，事件職員將他的姓氏跟妻子的姓氏聯分解一個復姓給他。
A husband from Lyon has become the first man in France to take his wife's surname under a new gender equality law.
But the 37-year-old, who married in September, first had to cross an administrative minefield with his request rejected seven times because officials were unaware the law existed.
He said he finally had to print a copy of the law from a government website before he could be renamed.
"I contacted seven town halls, they all turned me down. They checked several times the boxes they could tick on their computer systems and said it was simply impossible to change it to my wife's," he told RTL radio.
The man from Lyon – named only as Philippe S – said he wanted to use his wife's French-sounding surname because his own Turkish one was hard to pronounce and made it difficult to find work.
But the civil servants could only offer him a double-barrelled name merging his current one plus his wife's.
"I needed my wife's name to be able to get ahead in life, not constantly get knock-backs, and I feel things are improving already," he said.
The change in the law was published in the French government's Official Journal in October 2011, but received little media attention.
