Child name after parents divorce! reply asap

Supreme court has given verdict log back that it is not necessary to mention fathersname in school enrolment.

You will remain child of your biological father despite your mothers name everywhere. So how does it matter?

Only you have to produce proof to that effect. Even a child born out of wedlock is also entitled to inheritance in Indian succession act or hindu succession act whatever.

Apply to a local court to get your certificate amended. You mother will give evidence with some other proofs.

Not a really big issue.Relax

The question is quite interesting because it says that mother's surname is not allowed and father's surname has tobe put.Father is natural guardian. We also have custom that even girl would change her surname after her marriage and would adopt surname of her husband.So when mother looses her surname,how her son can have surname of her mother,but in this caswe,mother is divorced and so she has readopted her original surname and so now son is also having the same surname of hermother.  Let that authority reject mother's surname and then you can file suit that it is illegal and you have right to continue your mother surname.

niranjanji where is question of name dropping. Thge matter has already been settled by surpeme court long back. In present situation of societywhere single mothers and live-in are recognised it is meaningless to talk of mothers name or fathers name. Suppose a lady who is single adopts a child like Sushmita Sen and many other did, where they will bring fathers name from?

The school is talking primitive still living in 50 years old mindset.. They should stop doing all these foolish controls. in Gernmany it is matriarchal socieity so is case in our far eastern states like assam, manipur, tripura.

I absolutely agree with Dr. Gupta.  If Board insists on their own view point and if you are left without option either you can file case in local court or directly writ petition in High Court to get your grievance redressed.  Remember, the case has to be filed through your mother, as you are still minor.

Change of surname either for a male or afemale is not mandatory.
