Must I  adopt my husband’s surname after we get married?

This is customary but it is not a legal obligation. The wife can continue to use her maiden name or any other surname which she bore before her marriage. A ‘wife’ also includes a woman who has been married according to the rites of the Islamic or any Indian religion or a recognised customary union.

The children, of course, will take the surname of the father.
