Have you checked whether he is duly divorced or not? His refusal is creating doubt in my mind. We can register your marriage but for that purpose you have to convince him. Marriage cannot be registered solely by one party. Documents like ID proof and address proof are also required. You can't force anyone for this. If the said guruduwara has issued a certificate. That is sufficient to prove the solemnization of marriage. If you want to take any action against husband or in laws. You can do so. Marriage certificate is not required.

The registration of marriage is not mandatory under the law of India. As you informed that your marriage took place in gurudwara in the presence of some witness than no body can denied and your sister is legally wedded wife in eye of law. On the other hand even than your sister want registration of marriage than she may approach to civil court for same.

Look non-registration of marriage alone does not nullify married state. If the couple have lived together with intention and purpose and meaning of marriage then they are 'married' only. Registration of marriage is done for the evidence only which can be proved by a Lawyer otherwise also, so need to worry, but try to peruse the groom to register his marriage.

Mam, Tell your sister to collect the sufficient evidence for future safety purposes. I mean take the gurudwara certificate of the marriage, Tell her take the neighbors in her confidence if their help is required in future.
