Name change of wife after marriage

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 16 January 2022 This query is : Resolved
Hi,

My mother(widow) already has my fathers surname on all her legal documents. However, she doesn't have any affidavit/document stating how she got this name after getting married.

Can she now make an affidavit of "Name change after getting married" and give the publications in 2 local daily newspapers.

Will this be considered valid?

Thanks!

Yes. After publishing the name change in the 2 largest circulated daily newspapers, put an application in Annexure-I through the Tahsildar concerned to the Govt. But now what is the necessity for it?
