well you are already married . spent 2 years together . your wife must be insisting on registration of marriage in Goa as without registration, a marriage is not legally recognized in Goa. The date of the marriage registration is the date of marriage for all legal purposes, irrespective of whether religious ceremonies took place or not.

hence it is better to register your marriage as Marriages in Goa are compulsorily registerable. Only a civil registration of marriages in Goa is accepted as evidence of the marriage

Was a prenuptial made? What prevents you from acceding to the demand of your wife to register the marriage? If you do not want to sustain your marriage then you are free to apply for divorce on the ground of harassment suffered by you and your parents in consequence of the FIR lodged by her. However, this does not have a nexus with registration of marriage.
