She can travel n the current passport as long as she makes the booking in the same name. Or she can renew her passport in her married name .. and carry the old passport for the visa until it expires, and her marriage certificate to link the old and new passport names. 
First way is definitely simpler at least until the visa or passport expires

She can travel with old passport. She should hold her marriage certificate.

@Lil bear, the first one is easier. I wished I would have saved myself all of the headache of waiting. But, I didnt have to pay for my name change on my new passport. I have been going nuts trying to figure ot out and I had someone to look into it for me. And, then I decided to call myself. 

 

It makes sense to continue to use the old passport until the visa expires. Where were you @Lil bear, when I needed the answer to this last year? Lol!!
