In various marriage laws around the world, however, the husband continues to have authority; for instance the Civil Code of Iran states at Article 1105: "In relations between husband and wife; the position of the head of the family is the exclusive right of the husband".[8] Others argue that today this is merely a harmless tradition that should be accepted as a free choice.[10] Some jurisdictions consider this practice as discriminatory and contrary to women's rights, and have restricted or banned it; for example, since 1983, when Greece adopted a new marriage law which guaranteed gender equality between the spouses,[11] women in Greece are required to keep their birth names for their whole life.[12] Under English common law, there was a system where a wife with a living husband ("feme couvert") could own little property in her own name.[36] Unable to easily support herself, marriage was very important to most women's economic status.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-624.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-624.txt
