Hi
My name is Sanjay Sethi. My wife Nirmala Sethi (Before marriage Nirmala Mehta). We married in 2012. We had a daughter in October 2015 which we all decided to call Radhika.
Since I work in private sector, I came to my daughter's delivery for a week and then left. When my wife and my in laws submitted my daughter's Birth Certificate, they intentionally named her Radhika Mehta Sethi. Both the surnames were included in her name. Her name as per our tradition should be Radhika Sanjay Sethi (Sanjay being my name). They never mentioned they were going to do like this.
When I saw the birth certificate, I was surprised. I asked her and her in laws why they done like this. They gave a lot of stupid reasons. One of them from my wife is 'Its my wish. I will name her anything'.
I tried to discuss them. Told them that this is not correct and they should have spoken to me before doing any of this. My wife and inlaws are not ready to listen. In India, we have lots of issues if name is not correct on certificate. The same name will be printed on all certificates going forward and later it will become problem. I do not want my daughter to suffer because of my wife's mistake.
Can I initiate any legal action against her and inlaws if she doesn't listen? Any advice in this regard will be highly appreciated.
