Sir, to marry and register in India, your Sri Lankan spouse needs a valid passport, visa, birth certificate, proof of residence, and an affidavit of marital status. After marriage she can apply for Indian citizenship after 3 years of residence. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with best course of action.
