when you get married in a court, you are married in the eyes of law. I am in no way suggesting that you do fake trips. You are married by the court and then you take trips (I would suggest that even if you are not applying for PR). Visa officers will clearly know if your trip is a fake or not since they are most of the time good at detecting marriage of convenience applications. When you apply for PR, attach a letter explaining the circumstances for a court wedding and your future plans (come back and stay in india till PR is approved; plan to have traditional wedding etc). Come back and have wedding or honeymoon etc and send them additional documents...it is up to the visa officer to accept them and give visa without interview or call you for an interview....if he/she is broadminded to accept court wedding and other documents as proof of relationship, he/she will accept it otherwise it will be an interview where you have to prove that this relationship is real...your biggest plus points are both parents present at the court wedding; staying couple of weeks after the wedding; coming back and living till the PR process is over; if having a traditional wedding then another plus point...the unknown factor is visa officer's views on court weddings and on not having a simple marriage in the first place...
