Your name is your own choice. The law does not mandate a man or a woman to change it necessarily. Hence you do not have to change your name in any official documentation like Aadhar card or PAN card after marriage.

 


The address also does not need to be changed, its your sole discretion, yes daughter can get fathers address with documents of father

1. By marrying there is no such law that you may have to lose your individual identity, you can very well retain your parental address on all the documents held by you, there is no law restricting you to use your parental address after your marriage.

2.  Nothing.

Your marriage with your husband can be proved by other documents namely invitation card, marriage certificate, any other relevant documents.

3. Yes, of course, she can have her father's address on her own identity cards.

1. You can retain your parental address in all your documents and also can keep your name unchanged after your marriage if you so desire.

3. Your daughter will have the address in her Aadhar card showing where she is actually staying.
