Sir,
My case is family court for divorce and its on a final stage now my wife filed a DVA US 12 on me. In her filing document she used aadhar card on which she used only her name without surname but election voter id she is having surname of husband. Can I file case on this ground?? Voter ID card was issued in 2003 when she was with me and aadhar issued 2015 when we are separated and we have case pending in court.

I am afraid the newspaper article is misinformed. In my knowledge, limited as it may be, there is no Law in our country as to how a person ought be named. It is a matter purely of personal choice.
