Marriage Can be registered under the Special Marriage Act,1954. Section 15 of the said Act provides for Registration of any Marriage that was solemnized according to any form & get the benefits of the said civil marriage Act for future.

In my opinion, the provisions of The Special marriage act will apply to this case, a personal enquiry with the marriage Registrar of your jurisdiction will clear all your doubts about this.

What transpires from your query that it was a inter religion marriage between a Muslim boy and hindu girl so legally it was required to be performed under Special Marriage act where registration is a rule of law and not a matter of procedure.So unless your marriage is performed and registered under Special Marriage Act It is illegal and void marriage since as stated by you girl changed her religion after marriage.

In case law laid in Special Marriage Act was followed registration under state's Act
is an optional matter.Since they are there to register ceremonial marriages.
