Conflicts on women's surnames

I have female ancestors for whom there are records such as census records for the time before they were married. If I have their birth surname and their married surname fields filled in correctly, these records throw up a conflict in the surname. Essentially the system will not accept that women generated records before they were married, and I am forced to pretend that the name on the record is wrong if I don't want to replace their married name with their birth surname. Am I missing some function on the system here?
