It is not necessary or mandated in any law that a lady has to compulsorily adopt her husband's name to suffix her name after marriage.  She can continue with her maiden name itself ill her life time, she cannot be compelled o change her name by adding her husband's name or his family title attached to her name by removing the existing father's name or title.

 

There is no legal infirmity in it.  You fight the case in actual merits and dont concentrate on such petty issues.
