If you are a Hindu Indian man living in India and if you walk 7 steps around fire with a Hindu woman then its considered valid Marriage in India and in South even if the man ties a mangal sutra to the woman then also its considered a valid marriage.This is because our legal system is based on traditions and the social system.So here marriage registration is not required to make the marriage legal.
I think here there are more NRI's posting messages so if a NRI do the same as mentioned above then the legal system has to cross the Indian borders and marriage is legal only when its legal as per the law of the land where the NRI is living.Now if the marriage is not registered then as per the law our Indian legal system cannot do anything against the NRI and for this our legal system has adopted the other ways like misuse of laws like 498a,420 etc.
Marriage registration certificate is a Internationally valid document which is accepted in any court all over the world but photos,invitation,saptapadi things like this are not accepted anywhere other than India.

To answer your questions
what are the docuements required for register the marriage ?
One can get a marriage certificate only after the marriage is registered and its not automatic only with performing ceremony.The documents required is signed affidavit of both husband and wife and if the husband is NRI then his passport copy and if he a foreigner then NOC from his countries embassy and then 3 witness.This is the basic requirement but in some cases the registrar may ask more like invitation card photos etc.But we all knows the reality that in India to get even a driving license without even driving one gets it with help or agents paying money and its much easier to get a marriage certificate issued even without any of these above mentioned documents.
Now your second question In order to issue suppose visa what documents and proof they ask for ?
This depends on country to country and normally 50% cases they only ask for details of NRI husband e.g employer,salary,insurance etc and the marriage certificate which needs to be attested by External and Home Ministry.In doubtful cases they ask for more to make sure the marriage really exist and they are really couples and not a fake marriage.
Now what i want to say here is the importance of marriage certificate.As you have mentioned about Punjab Dhoba area then also please note that not every NRI's passport gets impounded and even for impounding the passport the RPO is first asking for a valid marriage certificate and not asking for marriage ceremony pics and invitation cards.If that would have been the case then all the NRI's from Dhoba would have lost their passport but till now only few 70 of them got passport impounded because these guys at some time registered there marriage and those who did not register the RPO could do nothing against them.
So even if one say registration of Hindu marriage is not necessary then i must say in cases of NRI marriages which are in trouble without registration no one can do anything other than wasting money on legal battle for getting nothing.
