• Surname of wife for my children?

Can I use my wife's surname (Shaik Mahammad) instead of mine(Patnool)? We are 'SHAIK' community but unfortunately neither my surname nor my certificates have it. But my wife has 'SHAIK' in her certificates. So can I get my children's surname as either "shaik" OR "shaik Patnool"?

Thank you

There is no legal bar to not to use your wife surname. You can well go ahead and mention her surname in your children records. Mention the names in birth record and school records. If the name are already reflected and you want to add surname you need to file suit for declaration and thereafter get the surname affixed in the records through order of court

You are free to suffix the surname of your wife to your child. There is no bar in law to a child having his surname as that of his mother instead of father.
