It is absolutely official to tag husband's surname with the maiden surname. Only she has to change the Surname record in Bank etc. My daughter Barnali Ray after marriage to a Shukla groom, writes her surname as 'Ray Shukla' which is officially accepted.
Previously it was not like this. The bride's surname used to get changed to Groom's surname after marriage without any mention of her maiden surname. Now, due to Women's empowewrment, women want their own identity and thus two surnames are in vogue.
Clear, dear ??
