Marriage is tied in the chains of religion and caste.

Can people of two different religions get married without changing their religion and surname?

Did you mean "Can people of two different religions STILL get married without changing their religion and surname?"

If so, SURE, why not?

But it depends on our society whether it will allow it or not? At some places, society punishes for doing so.

I have an Indian friend who wouldn't marry her Christian Australian boyfriend if he didn't convert to Islam.
Let's say she wasn't a virgin and was drinking alcohol regularly.
He did...and I know he didn't care what faith she was or pretended she cared about.
I have many friends in Bulgaria who are married to people of different faith and nobody is asking or demanding the other to change faith.
It is 21 century and some traditions should stay where they belong...in the past...

I suppose you know this better than me don't you DL?
So is this rethorical or whatnot?

Here is my guss on the matter (why am I talking, must be bored..)

A muslim woman CAN NOT marry a nonmuslim; he has to convert.
However a muslim MAN can marry who he wishes.
Apart from that, no coversion that I know of, but some marry buddhist
without being one, suppose it's as a gesture to the culture dunno

Depends upon how much of a religious zealot one person is.

I'm not religious so any religious entanglements wouldn't work for me no matter what religion.

Well, many people believe in religion.
If believing in religion brings softness and kindness in you instead of fanaticism and cruelty, then it is good to be religious.

You are right as many murders have been committed in the name or religion by many religious 'fanatics and zealots' ...

In Spain, where the catholic religion has been so important for so many years, women who marry a non catholic person can only marry in a catholic church if the husband promises to bring their children up in the catholic religion.
However, in spite of the religious and apparently macho culture of Spain, women never ever give up their surnames when they marry. The possibility does not officially exist. It's impossible to change your surname once you are born ....
