Is it illegal for one of the spouses to change the surname of their children without authorization a

According to the provisions of the Marriage Act, a child may take either the father's or the mother's surname. After the parents divorce, the original surname cannot be changed unless the parents agree to change it or the adult child agrees to the change. Even the parent raising the child does not have the right to change it without permission.

Article 22 of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates: "A child may take either his father's surname or his mother's surname. It fully embodies the principle of equality between men and women and equality between husband and wife in China's marriage law.

The traditional feudal ideology that children can only take their father's surname, not their mother's surname, is wrong. However, the Marriage Law does not stipulate that one of the parents may change the child's surname at will, and since Ying Hongzhi has taken the father's surname, his surname cannot be changed at will.

Of course, as long as both parties reach an agreement and do not violate the public morality of society, it can also be decided that their children adopt other surnames, and the law does not prohibit it. However, it can be seen from the above provisions that when either party changes the name of a child, the consent of the other party must be obtained. In other words, a child's last name can only be changed if both of the child's biological parents agree.

Hong's act of changing his daughter's name without Ying's consent is contrary to the spirit of the judicial interpretation.
