You may not be permitted to change the name of the mother in the birth certificate of the child for any reason.

She may have to submit a name change affidavit declaring both the names are one and the same, duly notarised and published in the government gazette publication.

Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate )     25 December 2023

Your wife has to make an affidavit for change of name / surname and get it published in 2 news papers and State gazzete before getting other documents amended

Why such a change? It is unlikely that such request would be entertained unless you get directions from the Court.
