In the United States there are no laws or "rules" regarding name changes subsequent to marriage. Some women make no change, some use a hyphenated form of their name and their husband's such as Jones-Smith. In some cases a husband takes his wife's last name. Since the introduction of Ms as a title for women equal to and as neutral as Mr, a woman's marital status has become much less of an identifier legally, socially, culturally and in the world of business.
