The names have nothing to do with it. Today if the names change from marriage you just have to provide a copy of the marriage certificate and any other name change legal documents and that would be the end of that. That's very different from having to add the husband as the primary account holder while the woman, precious owner of the account, has to be an authorized user instead.
Because when she got married she legally changed her name so the old name on the old credit card was now invalid?
