HI!!!
I am really confused that does a spouse of a British passport holder need a schengen visa ? as the spouse is holding a Residence permit card of Indefinite Leave to Remain.

this is a German embassy website which says
"Spouses of an EU National
Do you need a visa for Germany?
You DO NOT need a visa for short stays in Germany if you are:
a citizen of the EU/EEA/EFTA
a partner (married or civil partnership) or child of an EU/EEA/EFTA national if you hold a British "Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National" or a "Permanent Residence Card" - and only if you are travelling together with the EU/EEA/EFTA national
a holder of a Diplomatic, Service or Special Passport from Chad, Ghana, Philippines and Turkey
a holder of a Diplomatic, Service, Special or Official Passport from Thailand.
a holder of a Diplomatic Passport from Albania, Algeria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Georgia, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Macedonia, Malawi, Moldova, Montenegro, Morocco, Namibia, Pakistan, Peru, Russian Federation, Serbia, South Africa, Tunisia, Ukraine and United Arab Emirates
a citizen of a country listed below (provided you are not going to stay longer than three months and you are not going to do any paid or self-employed work)"
