Is it mandatory to change surname by a wife post marriage as per the surname of her husband when both are Hindus and also married as per hindu customs in accordance of law? What is the legal status when the girl is Varshney and married to Gupta and she does not convert her surname as Gupta. Please give legal status opinion. Is it viable under the eyes of law?
