A marriage certificate is not evidence that a couple have a stable relationship - being rather cynical, it just proves that they were once in the same room for the time it took to perform the ceremony.
I understand your frustration on being met with this requirement, but honestly, to supply what the form asks for is going to be your quickest way to get through this. The INZ CO who has to process their application doesn't have the power to debate the logic of what is being required - they just have to tick off the evidence that the applicant supplies.

Thanks for the reply, it just seems strange that they need evidence of their relationship when they are both the parents of my wife and are both applying for the parent visitor visa. I could understand the requirement if say one of my wifes parents had a new partner he or she would like to bring to nz who was not the actual parent of my wife.
