Hello,

M having matrimonial dispute with my wife. She has just enrolled with bar council of Delhi.

There is no law to regulate SIR names.

Then every thing is right.

Why do not you ask the finance ministry why for a PAN card a married lady is asked to write her fathers name???????and not that of her husband?????

Yes all have advised correctly.
mahendrakumar (Expert) 19 November 2011
since there are no laws prohibiting the same,it is better to leave it as a personal liberty.

any further poking on this ground may lead to unnecessary turbulence in marital life.

gone are the days,wherein to expect a women after marriage to be known as "Mrs.X" only.
