Hello Sir, 

Gujurat Marriage Act, 2006 is a state level act which is applicable only in the State of Gujarat but Special Marriage Act is applicable all over India. Special Marriage Act has laws related to marriage from two different religions.

If they belong to different religions and never got married under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 and only got marriage registered under some local marriage registration Act without even getting legally married than for all purpose they are not married. If no legal marriage than no divorce as they are not husband and wife in the eye of law. Registration of non-existent marriage will not make it valid marriage.
