There is no legal requirement that a girl should change her name after marriage.

Ji, yes. there is no legal requirement to change the name. Did you ask your husband why is he forcing you to change name. change of name means whether surname only or complete name. is your marriage registered? if registered, you both submit application for alteration in name of the bride to the Marriage Registrar concerned. if not registered, now get your marriage registered under HM Act, mentioing your name with your husband's surname in the marriage application.

Adjustment and Compromise would be the basic of married life.
