Why does modesty necessitate this? What will happen if a woman’s name is in public? Will people have hirhurim from that?? I should hope not. The traditional “Mr. and Mrs. John Doe” was more about the subjugation of the woman that modesty. Because Mr. Doe called all the shots, only his name was relevant. When women began to have rights of their own, the practice stopped for the most part. So why does modesty demand that the woman’s name be hidden???
