I did this:

1) Letter of explanation
2) Attached - Marriage certificate
3) Attached - One & Same person notarised affidavit
4) Gazette of name change in India - This is not needed; but we had it so attached it.

My wife's name was changed in passport after marriage. It is mentioned in passport that the new passport is issued with new name due to marriage and previous name was -------------.

Will that be sufficient as CIC is asking for legal documents in ITA application.
