can 3 photos of garland only prove a marriage?

(Querist) 27 November 2014 This query is : Resolved 
A girl has filed dv case against me and is going to file 498a, 504, 506, 420 and dowry act. But I had never married to that girl, we were about to marry but later my family refused due to her demands of me staying with her family after marriage. Now the point is she is having only 3 photos of me and her with garlands (which she took by playing fraud as I thought she is taking it jokingly). There is no mangalsutra, no sindoor, no mandir and no agni and no other people in those 3 photos.
1. Are these photos sufficient enough to proof a marriage as per hindu shastro vidhi and jati riti riwaaj?
2. As I am going to challenge the marriage, pls guide me what points shall I raise to prove this false marriage false?
( we both are hindu and also she is jain by caste and she is gujarati)
pls pls guide me on this as I am in starting stage and dont want my cases to go long (I had already lost my job due to this).

1 No these are not.
2.Say that you never performed marriage and the actual story behind the garland.

I wonder how did you lose your job out of this.

Actually I am from UP and doing job in gujarat and she is also from gujarat and same city where I was working. She threatened me in many ways like she will commit suicide and all those mental and emotional drama, my family called me back for safety reasons from any false case or arresting and due to this I quit my job. Right now job is not the concern as I will get any somehow in near future but the main concern is all these false cases.
She has filed dv case and I am sure that she will file all the remaining cases which she mentioned in advocate notice (498a, 504, 506, 420 and dowry). I already replied to that notice stating that no marriage has been done hence all allegations are false and girl is fraud.
what should I do now and how shall I proceed? Also she is sending me evry notice in gujarati language.

It is premature to ask such questions, as hint on questions relating to cross-examination of the girl can reveal your defence strategy. Don't make her ready to scuttle down your defence by manipulating the events in her favour.

So, hire an advocate, discuss with him the whole episode, ask him how he plans to defend. After that, if you get any doubt and need any hint only then approach the experts here.

Thank you very much for your kind reply Devajyoti ji.. Need more help regarding this case from you and others as well.
dv case has been filed and date id fixed but I hv not received the notice of dv case as I want to finalise my lawyer first and then will start all these proceedings. As the case is filed in gujaray and I am from UP, I need some time for this to find an exp lawyer.

Thank you Dhingra sir. I will keep that in mind what you said. Just asked this to confirm that whether it is void or not as per hindu marriage act. Will surely take advice of an exp lawyer now and then will ask if any query comes.
