Child's surname

madsouji (Querist) 16 January 2015 This query is : Resolved
Mine has been an inter-caste hindu marriage. I haven't changed my surname after marriage. I want my children to have my maiden surname. I feel this is one of the reasons why girl child is unwanted in our country, as she is unable to pass on her family name. I want to now if this is permissible under Indian law. Whatever research I have done so far says no. kindly advise me
