Child Surname

In an important decision for rights of women who re-marry, the Supreme Court today in its verdict said, "Mother can give surname of second husband to child after death of biological father."

Mother being the natural guardian of the child after the demise of the father has the right to decide the surname, said the Supreme Court Thursday while setting aside an order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court.

Sania Mirza had earlier said that the child would bear surnames of both of them.

Sania at the recent 'Goa Fest 2018' had said that their child would keep surnames of both of them.

Tennis champion Sania Mirza announced that "Mirza Malik" will be her child's last name. She was attending a panel on "Gender Bias" at the ongoing Goa Fest 2018.

Radha, niece of legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar and youngest child of musician Hridaynath Mangeshkar, says pressure, expectation and comparison will always come with her last name.

The state education department, in a circular issued to all the schools in the state, has instructed them to accept the middle and last name of a single mother in the child's records from the new academic year.
