        My sister (38) has recently filed a divorce petition in the family court. Before marriage her name was ‘A B C’ (A is her first name, B is her father’s name, and C is her maiden surname). After marriage her name was changed to ‘A D E F’ (A is her first name, D is her husband’s first given name, E is her husband’s second given name and F is her husband’s surname) and this is the same name in her Aadhaar card as well as her passport.

        The divorce petition that was filed has gone with the name ‘A D F’, so basically her husband’s second given name was not mentioned in the petition. While the petition was being filed in the court lady who was doing the filing raised the concern that her name on the Aadhar Card (‘A D E F’) does not match the name in the divorce petition (‘A D F’) and she also went on to say that the name that will now come in the final decree will be ‘A D F’.

        We are fully paranoid about this incident and don’t know how to proceed. Our lawyer is blaming us for this error and not guiding us on the next steps. Is this mismatch a major issue? Do we need to withdraw the petition and file a new petition again? Does something need to be done right away? Or we can wait until later?

        I would really appreciate your advice in this regard. Many thanks in advance for your time and valuable suggestion. In case it helps, the case was filed last week and in Pune Family Court.

              For prevention of future troubles get a same person affidavit where it states ABC , ADF , and ADEF are the name of the same person.
              It will help you ahead in life also

                Lawyer here:
                Just file an Affidavit explaining the same.
                Not a big thing to worry about.
