Dear Sir, My wife has updated her name on aadhaar back to her name before marriage.This was on account of our differences wherein she left matrimonial home went to her parents,lodger FIR u/s 498A/406. Few months later she withdrew her FIR before filing of chargesheet and since then has been living with me harmoniously. now she wants to continue with her aadhaar after marriage as she has both aadhaar with same number and biometrics but with different surnames. she cannot further update it as name change lomit of 2 times is exhausted. Can she use her old aadhaar with after marriage surname ? Is it legally valid?

The married woman may continue with her maiden name on aadhaar card. It is legally valid as she obtained the Aadhaar Card with her maiden name. She may change her surname in Aadhaar with proof.

for married woman both her aadhaar (before and after marriage with change of surname) legally valid? Aadhar number is same but surname has changed.

There is no legal requirement that name or surname of the bride needs to be changed after marriage. This is a mere custom prevalent in some parts of the country.
