HSMP Dependent applying for visa with just courte marrege

[Pratikshah2008]

Hi There,

My wife is planing to apply for visa in Dec but we haven't done any wedding ceremony so I am bit confused as we haven't got any photos of wedding or wedding invitation card but her passport is with my name and we got our
jone bank account as well and also indian PAN Card and Driving Licence with my joine name only so my question is

1) Is this proof is valide when I apply for visa for her ?

Where does the form / rules ask for evidence(s) of "marriage" other than just a marriage certificate?

You are right ,There is no rulesask for avidence apart from marriage certificate but recently I have seen some post that they are rejecting visa just because of lace of avidance of Marriage .So I was woundring

Is it okey to mantion on the covering latter that I have just done courte marriage as family prolblem I haven't done any wedding ceremoney ??

Does that works?

There is a difference between "evidence of marriage" and "evidence of subsisting relationship". What you are referring to is the latter, not the former.

Wedding invitation, photographs of wedding etc. etc. are not evidence of "subsisting relationship", they are just evidence(s) of a "wedding"!!
