Is the term 'Maiden Name' outdated?

Another article from the Guardian (you can tell which newspaper I read...) about whether we should still be asking people for their 'Mother's maiden name'. It's something I've never really thought about, other than a slight regret at losing mine, but in this day, is it acceptable to assume that someone's mother was actually married, and even if she was, that she changed her name?
