A.Dear Client,

Legally, changing one's surname after marriage is not obligatory in India. Women are not required to alter their names on passports following marriage. While sharing the same surname may symbolize unity in marriage, it also simplifies paperwork for property matters and joint accounts. Additionally, it eliminates the debate over what surname future children will have. Ultimately, the decision to change one's surname should be based on personal comfort and identity.

A.Dear Client,
Changing your spouse's surname post-marriage is not legally mandatory in India. Even, women don't need to change their names/surname on their passports after marriage. It is believed that taking on the same surname as the man seals the marriage. However, It makes future paperwork for property-related matters easier. Further, If you are looking at joint accounts, then it is easier if you have the same surname. The debate on what surname your future kids will have gets omitted. So if you are contemplating whether you should or shouldn’t change your wife's last name, do what you feel is right. It's a personal choice and should be made considering your comfort and identity.
