The answer to this is that Indian law does not require/mandate you to change your surname after marriage. It is a social norm. Also, it is a myth that your surname will automatically change after marriage or marriage registration.
Changing your name after marriage to something other than your spouse's name is completely acceptable. However, it sometimes requires more than just the marriage license; usually, a court order is needed. Each state is different about what they require, so be sure to check your own state's laws on the topic.
