Dear Sir's/Maa'am's,
What is the legal procedure for name change after a court marriage.
My wife has her name earlier name in the marriage certificate as XY( pre marraige initials) is married to AB (my initials).
Does she automatically become XB or is there a procedure for it?
Also, how do I refer to her in legal documents such as a Will.
In the current circumstances, do I refer to her as XY or XB ? ( in the will or any another document).
Regards

sir,
you are right. you don't need to take any action. This is not change of name. XY, wife of AB will now be XB where B is the last name of husband AB. Whenever and Wherever XB is used, one may add her maiden name XY like shown here in below:
XB @ maiden name XY
OR
XB (maiden name XY)
Such practice is also acceptable not only in India but in other countries of the world, as well
