Keep Maiden name after marriage

2 years ago

I got my marriage registered in Hyderabad and my marriage certificate states that XXXX Arya (husband) is married to "YYY Srivastava (before marriage) and YYY Arya (after marriage)". I was told by the personnel there that it is compulsory to have the last name of my husband in the certificate. I want to continue using my maiden name of YYY Srivastava for all purposes while maintaining the fact that I am married to my husband. We are moving to Europe in a few months and I am worried this statement in my marriage certificate could cause a problem in spouse visa. Any solution)

A.Dear Client,
There is no legal provision that disallows you to carry your maiden name after marriage. It will not affect your visa process. Your marriage certificate is a relevant document as proof of the marriage. Hope this helps. Let us know if you require any further assistance.
Thank you!

A.It is necessary on your part to make a Declaratory Affidavit before the First Class Judicial Magistrate in this regard and thereafter to give public notice through Newspaper publication. These documentary evidences will be the proofs on your part along with other relevant documents, Marriage Certificate and identity proofs.

A.Dear Sir,
Always remember that there are no rules in the Indian constitution that bar you from keeping your maiden name after marriage. You have all the rights to keep your maiden name after you get married or change it as you please but no one can force you for the same.
