There are three mandatory things, which are needed to be done for authorizing the name change:
1. Affidavit Submission: An affidavit needs to be prepared for name change.
2. Ad Publication: An announcement should be published in the newspaper.
3. Gazette Notification: A notification should be published in the Gazette of India regarding the name change.
Wife Signatories are required in each and every application he made.

No one can change the name of the person without the consent of the person whose name is to be changed.
You can approach the appropriate forum for your redressal. There is no special law in Muslim law that a husband can change the name of the wife in her documents without her consent.
