CC; Parte prima: Del diritto matrimoniale; Titolo quinto : Degli effetti del matrimonio in generale; B. Cognome
Art. 160 CC
Ciascun coniuge conserva il proprio cognome.
Gli sposi possono tuttavia dichiarare all’ufficiale dello stato civile di voler assumere un cognome coniugale; possono scegliere il cognome da nubile o celibe di uno di loro.
Se mantengono ciascuno il proprio cognome, gli sposi determinano il cognome dei figli, scegliendo il cognome da nubile o celibe di uno di loro. In casi motivati, l’ufficiale dello stato civile può liberarli da quest’obbligo.
