A woman can choose if she wants to continue with the surname she has been living with throughout her life, replace her existing surname with that of her husband's or add her husband's surname to her existing one. It is completely her choice, and no law in India demands a woman to change her surname after marriage.

It's not about marriage and change of surname.She simply doesn't want to use her father's surname and wants omit it from her records on turning a major.

Make an application in Annexure-IA to the Tahsildar concerned for gazette publication for the name change either to remover her father's surname or add some name etc.
