I wouldn't consider the stricter legal matters of Japan as a nation as very much binding at the moment due to the principal illegal nature of ghouls' very existence. Goat didn't hold that wedding as part of society at large, and I don't imagine they'd feel obligated to change either surname under those circumstances. The couple might 'feel like' doing it, but without canonical information stating the name-change has been made, as some might say, the change shall not be passed here on the wiki. Besides, if I'm not mistaken many Japanese spouses still retain at least informal use of their birth-given surnames at places like work or public spaces if they choose to, even when the legal change has been made.
