Aisha tweeted:
"I was judged harshly by immigration staff when I went to renew my international passport for keeping my name. Refusing to bear my husband's name was so bizarre to them that they refused to shut up about it."
"And I don't get it. Change of name is so random to me. This is the name I have had my entire life, all my achievements, failures and experiences are contained in this name. I want to keep it, why is that such a problem?"
Aisha said one of the women expressed shock that she hasn't changed her state of origin to that of her husband.
