contents The exact theory of gravity in the strong field regime is still under debate. There are observations implying the need for modification to Einstein's gravity. On the other hand, the exact constituents of dark matter are also a big puzzle, where primordial black holes (PBHs) are argued to be a potential candidate. We explore Hawking radiation in a modified gravity and find that PBHs evaporate faster in a scalar-tensor theory based modified gravity. Subsequently, all the nonrotating BHs of mass $\sim 10^{15}$ g or less should have been evaporated by today, which is an order of magnitude heavier than what the Einstein gravity predicts. This has many consequences including a strict constraint on contributing PBHs to dark matter, widening the debate of dark matter origin.
