As far as I know, in the US when you get married (most?) women get the husband's last name. And it might change if they divorce/marry again.

It's not automatic a lot of places, these days. It's just a far simpler/faster process to get the name change done, and most companies and even government agencies won't raise a fuss over a woman filling out a last name that doesn't match her ID, because they'll assume she got married and took her husband's name.
