Theoretically yes, but jewesses do not tend to do that, they tend to marry within their group and they often keep the maiden name because jews are matriarchal; they believe the woman is the head of the family. Jewish men sometimes take their wive's name, they consider the woman to be more important. Jews get shamed by their families whenever one marries outside of their race, often even disowning them, like with Peggy Hill.
But aside from that, the maiden name is never lost. It is indeed veiled but not entirely hidden as we all know the context of "Mrs." meaning a married woman. Many western cultures keep the maiden name in signatures and all western cultures retain the name in their documents.
You make a good point that most wont look deeper than the name written down. However the name is representative of her family and therefore of her reputation.
