As long as they are not using it to defraud. Many keep the name if there are children with the same last name.

Re: Married Name
Children are a very valid reason to keep the name. If you believe you are being harmed by their continued use of your name, you may have a basis for challening them. It depends on the facts.

There is no law requiring a person to change her name when she remarries. Many women continue to use a maiden or prior name. Many choose to hyphenate the name.
