India Visa after marriage

India Visa after marriage - Happy Couple Near the Tree

I am traveling in a month or so to India with my wife. She has a valid passport and valid visa in her maiden name. The only document we have updated after marriage is her social security card. I was told by two Indian consulates that she can travel with her current passport (which has her maiden name) as long as her passport name matches her visa name matches her air ticket name. Is this true? Or will the updated social security information cause some problems?
