I got married a decade ago. We are both hindus. Promptly, I got my marriage certificate. Based on the marriage certificate, I got my surname changed in my Pan card & passport. All my accounts have also been changed. My identity is with my married surname.
After all these years with no problems, I was confused when someone told me differently. Is this process of identity change (i.e. to married surname) legal? Do I have to necessarily get a court order or publish my name on the gazzette for this surname change due to marriage?
Any clarifications on this would be appreciated...
