Will a hindu woman's islamic name be cancelled after divorce ?


03-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Respected sir, I am a Hindu woman who got married to a Muslim man in 2010, and we got divorced in February 2017. At the time of marriage my name was changed to Islamic name as per Islam law.  But all my documents still have my Birth name (Hindu name). I will be getting remarried in March 2018. Hence, I  would like to know whether I need to change my name back to my original Hindu name or the converted Islamic name automatically stands cancelled after a divorce. Does my name automatically change back to my birth name? Please guide further.  Thank you.

If the Change of name is by way of Gazette and by way of procedure established by law and registered with the Govt. Yes you need to get it recharged following the same procedure of law. Otherwise if you have switched your name only by way of nikahnama under mohammadian law then it get cancelled by way of Talaqnama. You can use your prior documents for all the purpose.

Since you converted from Hinduism to Islam at the time of your first marriage hence if your second marriage is to be as per Hindu rites and rituals then you have to reconvert back to Hinduism and Hindu name. After the convertion you can publish in the gazette your change of religion and name.
