A.Dear Client,
Being the sole natural guardian after the demise of her husband, the widow is entitled to change the surname of her child and can give him the surname of her second husband if she marries again. A woman can give the child the surname of her second husband whom she remarries after the death of her first husband and can also give the child for adoption to her husband. The matter of changing your name or surname post-marriage including your daughter's name is not legally mandatory in India. It's a personal choice and should be made considering your comfort and identity. The essential documents required for a name change after marriage in India can vary slightly depending on the state you reside in, but generally, a Notarized Affidavit, Marriage Certificate, Proof of Identity, Passport-size Photographs, in some cases, additional documents like newspaper advertisements announcing the name change. The time for processing the application for a change of name or surname varies from state to state.
