A certificate from the Embassy/Consulate of the non-Indian applicant stating that his/her country’s respective law does not prohibit their nationals from marrying foreign nationals.

No doubt to claim rights as per Indian laws you need to register your marriage in India or in the Indian consulate of the country where you reside.
If you do not want to claim validity of your marriage in India as per Indian laws, with the given fact that you are a NRI and your spouse is a foreigner, then you may not have to get your marriage registered following the process of Indian laws in this regard.
However the marriage certificate given by the UK government is otherwise valid to prove that you are married to your spouse.
In the context of your situation as non-resident Indian and Iranian planning to marry in the United Kingdom, obtaining a marriage certificate in the UK is generally recognized as valid proof of marriage within the UK. However, it's essential to be aware that the recognition of your marriage in other countries is subject to the respective legal requirements as per the country.
Dear client,
A marriage certificate issued in the United Kingdom is generally recognized internationally as a valid proof of marriage. However, the recognition of the marriage certificate might vary from country to country based on their individual laws and regulations. It's essential to check the specific requirements and regulations regarding the recognition of foreign marriages in both India and Iran. Sometimes, additional steps such as authentication or registration with the respective embassies or consulates might be necessary for the marriage to be recognized in these countries.
