If you have any proof or any record to show that the person who is living with you is your wife,then with that you can move to the registration office in your place for registering your marriage.Two witnesses is necessary

Yes definitely you can very well register your marriage with other documentary evidences like ration card which show yourself, and your wife as husband and wife, birth extract of your son, voter identity card of both of you etc. And of course you can also submit as affidavit as my learned friend suggested.
