There is no specific law in our country that says a married woman has to use her husband's surname. She can choose which surname she wants to use after marriage. It is only a custom to change the surname. Large number of my friends do not use their husband's surname and do not face problems anywhere.
Not just feminists, because of the inconvenience, many women prefer to use paternal surname - it causes much trouble to change surname from all official documents. I can write more on this issue giving examples. however I presume this issue is not under mandate of this list-serve.
