Well. In this culture, the woman also takes the man’s last name. So. (I’m just guessing here.) Let’s say “Miss” Davis, marries “Mr. Smith.” Then, she becomes (Mr)s. (Smith.) A sign of unification of the two, into one family. Mr. Smith, didn’t join a family, The woman did. She keeps the “s,” so that gender is indicated. And Mr., and Mrs. Smith, lived happily ever after. Until they went through a messy divorce, resulting in the suicide of Mr. Smith, and the investigation of Mrs. Smith, into Mr. Smith’s cause of death. Then. Turns out Mr. Smith wasn’t the one who committed suicide. It was Mr. Smith’s secret twin brother! Who had fathered some of Mrs. Smith’s children! The real Mr. Smith, was out of town, with his secret twin’s other family (also being played by the Smith twins.) When the real Mr. Smith returns, and hears of his brother’s passing, he also commits suicide. Mrs. Smith, very confused and devastated by all these revelations, accidentally drinks too much in the bath, and slips beneath the bubbles. On her tombstone, it will read Mrs. Smith ,with an asterisk, and a very confusing inscription explaining it all… Simple.
