you have couple of things done wrong, first of all your models should be like:

C#

class CustomerDetail
{
   public string Address{get;set;}
}


class Customer
{

  public string Name{ get; set; }

  public CustomerDetail CustomerDetail{ get; set; }
}

and in your view you will need to create hidden fields for each CustomerDetail property like:

C#

 @using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "ControllerName", new {  }, FormMethod.Post, new { }))
{

  @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.CustomerDetail.Address)
 
}

This should work for you correctly.
