There are many cases of family adopting the son-in-law into the family and continuing their line of name. The registry does allow this happening. My own family (Chinese) keep two sets of ancestorial plaques exactly for this reason. Sometimes about a hundred years ago, one of my great-father was adopted via marriage into the family and adopted our surname. To honor his line of family, the Lee ancestor family plaque was also keep.

Stopping the husband from being adopted into his wife's family. This is literally how the family registry works. You move either into her family, or the other way around. When you get divorced, the children either move into her or his family's registry.

My bottle of White Pepper Salt have the Prop 65 cancer warning label on it. I'm still trying to figure out which part is carcinogen. It's literally white pepper and salt. Reminds me of the peanut warning label that's supposed to prevent accidental exposure to peanut in food. Instead companies just add minute amount of peanuts to everything and slap on a label that it contains peanuts and ignore the spirit of that law.

James Earl Jones is no longer a due paying member of SAG-AFTRA. He explicitly assigned his likeness (and voice) to be usable by AI so his family/estate can benefit from it in the future. Whenever Disney brings Darth Vader back in any capacity, the estate gets paid. Epic paid the estate for the right to use that voice. SAG-AFTRA wants another actor to be cast to do that going forth.
