In the eyes of your religion the two of you are married, but as the two of you did not get legally married, in the eyes of the UK Government you are not married.So in that case they are not sure that we really got married or not.
They are not prepared to accept your previous marriage as being legal and the information that you have already supplied is therefore irrelevant and null and void. They can not use that against you in any subsequent application that you make.They already got my previous marriage information..........don't you think its gonna contradict.
As you have stated that you are going to make a fresh application and not appeal against it, then I suggest what you do is to carry out a proper and legal marriage (nikkah) again in Pakistan. You should get the marriage certificate there and then. Have it translated into English and present it as a document with your latest application.2) on application form which date i have to show Actuall wedding date or date of registaration in Pakistan...
It cannot do any harm, but of course their records will give details of the previous application, and the reason for its rejection.do i have to submitt a cover letter or a statement to explain this whole scenario
It needs to be clear that you will not need to claim certain Public Funds. How much are your savings now? And have you a realistic prospect of getting employment in the foreseeable future, given the current financial climate?.i was working part time in uk few months back and got a good bank statement...but now i am out of job....statements are getting thin day by day...........you think this will have any effect at all...
As regards a marriage in the UK, to be recognised as a legal marriages it needs to comply with the requirements of the Marriage Act. If a "marriage" takes place in a Place of Public Worship, it will only be legally valid if that Place of Public Worship is registered with the local Register Office.I am bit confuse...Is registration of marriage to civil registration office = registration to local union council(attestation from foriegn office ) in Pakistan?
-: which must mean that some Mosques are indeed registered with their local Register Office. It is a shame that all, or the great majority, of Mosques do not bother to so register. As said before the great majority of Christian Churches are so registered.For a Muslim marriage to be valid under the laws of England & Wales the marriage must be solemnised either at a mosque registered for the solemnisation of marriages or a civil wedding at a registry office must precede the nikah (Muslim marriage).
JohnSo come on Mosques, do the right thing, refuse to perform the nikah unless the legal marriage certificate can be produced. After all it is there in black and white in the "Muslim Marriage Contract" marriage contract document.
-: I just express surprise that Mosques are performing the nikah in the absence of a legal marriage certificate. After all there is nothing to stop the couple getting legally married a day, or a few days, before the nikah .... not living together ... then performing the nikah and then starting the normal married life that you refer to.Imams & Mosques Council (UK), The Muslim Law (Shariah) Council UK, Utrujj Foundation, Muslim Council of Britain, The Muslim Parliament of Great Britain, The City Circle, Muslim Women’s Network-UK, Fatima Network, Muslim Community Helpline (Ex-MWH)
Whilst I agree with your comments entirely, the above are guidance notes only and not an essential requirement that a civil marriage at the registry office must be preceded by a nikkah.It makes total sense to me, but it is not what that document mentioned earlier actually says. Given the document is endorsed by :-

After all, if they did that, Muslims would not be caught in the position of the OP in this topic, and lots of others.
