Hello dear lawyers,
I am a Dutch citizen and will be marrying an Indian lady in the Netherlands. Some of the questions I have is
1. Name change. In the NL it is not mandatory for the lady to change her name. Can she still keep her name in the marriage certificate and will it be accepted by the Indian authorities. In that way she will not need to change her name in her passport and Aadhaar care, PAN etc. (We are both past our 50's and do not intend to start a family and have no properties.) However, I did notice that her passport does ask for name of spouse. Will she need to fill that in?
2. Does the marriage still need to get registered in the Indian Embassy?
Thanks!
