I know a few more recently married women who have changed their name... but I was talking to my flute teacher about it last year, and she said that most people just don't do it anymore, so she wasn't going to either. I think it's more of a widespread personal choice than any sort of law.
If the divorce rate is the reason that people there have stopped doing it though... that just seems incredibly pessimistic to me.
