For the sake of drama, saath pheras, varmala, sindhoor are considered to be the trifecta of a marriage. And anu and pre have done all 3, albeit in bits and pieces. In most cultures in India, sindhoor is considered the most important of all 3. Again, anupre have done that.
They are married in the eyes of each other and durgaa maa. And as unrealistic as that sound, for a drama that's all that matters.
