Royal Gazette

28 December 2530

Section2.This Act shall come into force from the day following the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette onwards.

Section3.The provision of section 14 of the Names of Persons Act, 2505 BE, shall be repealed and replaced by the following provisions:

Section14.A woman who has become widowed through the death of her husband may use the family name of the husband or the former family name of her own.”

Countersignature
General P Tinsulanonda
Prime Minister

Note: The reasons for the promulgation of this Act are as follows: Whereas it is appropriate for the women who have become widowed through the deaths of their husbands to enjoy the right to choose whether to use the family names of the husbands or return to their former family names, depending on the necessity or desire of each of them, it is therefore necessary to enact this Act.
