Hi
I got married 5 years back . it was a court marriage with marriage ceremony performed according to Hindu rituals.
I have both the marriage certificates.
Now the place where my marriage ritual performed was in some legal trouble after an year of my marriage and it's licence got cancelled. Due to this cancelled license the German authority is not ready to accept the proof of my marriage. Though the marriage buro works still today with new licence and different brand name.
I have shown them photos of marriage too.
Now what should i do to prove my marriage to them?
Please help

German authority is correct by rejecting your proof of marriage. The German authority will recognize only the valid marriage certificate under the Special Marriage Act,1954 not the piece of paper you carry from some marriage bureau.
As far the photographs of so called marriage ceremonies is concerned that too anyone can get made with help of any professional photographer, do you think the Immigration staff of foreign countries are stupid fools that will not check the authenticity of whatever proof of marriage you place before them with your Visa application?
Most of Visa applications fail just because people like you will go and throw money on any unprofessional marriage or visa agents rather engaging services of qualified lawyers thinking the fee of lawyers is higher then those fraud agents and in the end suffer and abuse the Immigration officials of foreign countries.
