Apparently the divorce rate in Quebec is very, very high, so the government decided that one can't change their last name at all. Apparently there are cases of elderly women who have been Madame Husbandsname for generations who have been forced to revert back to revert back to their maiden name. I was told that even those who married outside of Quebec and have taken their husband's name have to revert back. I don't know what happens to those with passports under a married name though.

Can you provide some proof of this, like a newspaper article or a Quebec statute?
