Hai
Its an interesting query. It is twisted with with law. Actually wat the law states is that its nt a valid marriage and no need to register n hence no need to cancel the same as not bound by law. But there arises some other rights for her since she resided with u. Since ur query seems u r only worried about the validity of marriagemy reply is tat u need not worry about it cuz its not legally binding n recognised by law.
Hope am upto ur query

No, unless it is registered as per the Special Marriage Act , the said marriage is not valid in the eye of law.
The parties will not get the status of Husband and wife you can live together as husband and wife.

You are a Hindu and your wife is Orthodox Christian . Since both of you are from the different community your marriage must be registered as per the Special Marriage Act. The marriage other than this cannot be considered as the valid marriage

Your living status never considered to be Married.Marriage is a sacred or contractual relationship in India. Marriage, as its legal consequences, entitles both the persons to cohabit; the children born out of a legal wedlock have legitimacy as legal heir; the wife is entitled to maintenance during and after the dissolution of marriage. It is a living arrangement. A living arrangement in which an unmarried couple lives together under the same roof in a long term relationship that resembles a marriage is known as a live- in-relationship. Live in relation which can also be referred to as cohabitation, in essence, is an arrangement whereby two people agree to live together on a permanent or long term basis in a sexually and/or emotionally intimate relationship. The Court said that a man and a woman can live together as per their wish even without getting married. It further said that it may be immoral for the society but is not illegal.

Both are belongs to different religion, so getting valid marriage you should married under Special Marriage Act, 1954.Registration of marriage is a mode of proof of marriage. On adducing the registration certificate of marriage, it may be presumed by the law that marriage is deemed to has taken place.
