That's the part that amazes me, but Japan might be different.

AFAIK in Europe, the women keeps her maiden name for all her life, she 
just can use the husband name after marriage. From what you say, in 
Dutchland she has and can use only her maiden name in the passport.

So I'm very surprised in that case, the maiden name "disappeared" and is 
not at all mentionned in the passeport and can not be referenced.
