Chapter 3.1: Happily Unmarried

Mr. AB, a modern guy, meets Miss XY, a modern girl, and “falls in love”. Miss Y also “falls in love”. Miss Y wants to marry and have kids. Mr. B doesn’t want to marry but doesn’t want to lose Miss Y either. Mr. B and Miss Y talk it out.

Miss Y: We have been seeing each other for long now. I am fine with marriage if you propose.

Mr. B: OK, but if I propose and we get married, what do you want to be called after marriage? Mrs. XB or Ms. XY?

Miss Y: Ms. XY of course. I am an independent woman!

Mr. B: Do you wanna have a kid from the marriage?

Miss Y: Of course yes.

Mr. B: What would you like her to be called? Miss UB or Miss UY?

Miss Y: Miss UY!

Mr. B: But, there is a problem. As per Indian law, she can’t be called Miss UY; she has to necessarily be called Miss UB.

Miss Y: Hmmm…So, fine call her Miss UB then.

Mr. B: But, then that’s paradoxical! You, being an independent woman, should be equally concerned about your kid’s identity. How can you so easily forgo your claim on her identity?

Miss Y: WTF! I think you were better an MCP!

Mr. B: Do I change my name? I mean do I become Mr. AY?

Miss Y: Have you gone nuts! Has that ever happened before?!!

Mr. B: Then you change your name!

Miss Y: No way!

Mr. B: I have an idea. Let’s not get married and have a kid, and then you can name her Miss UY.

Miss Y. OK. Fine, let’s do it.

Mr. B and Miss Y lived happily unmarried ever after.
