UK spouse visa after marrying in Pakistan: the requirements people mix together

A marriage certificate is one requirement in a UK spouse-visa case, not the whole case. Relationship evidence, finances, English, accommodation and immigration rules remain separate tests.

If you marry in Pakistan, is the marriage recognised in the UK?

The UK does not re-register ordinary foreign marriages into a UK certificate. Recognition generally depends on the marriage being lawful where celebrated and compatible with UK law.
