The other point to consider....your partner has claimed Asylum. i.e unsafe to return to his own country. If he now returns in order to apply for a spouse visa...it would appear to the authorities that his Asylum claim was false. What nationality does he have? Are you both over 21?
You may be OK as the UK allow dual nationality...it's India that doesn't.

Are you sure that you can marry in Spain if she has no legal residency there? I know that when I married my non-EU husband there a few years ago, he had to submit his residencia and certificate of padroniamento before the official paperwork was issued.

No, you need to complete form FLR(M). It's slightly cheaper, but you would need to give a reason for not applying for ILR.

Refusal of FLR(M) when switching from fiance visa is rare. If the overstay had been a problem, you wouldn't have been issued with the visa to enable you to marry and switch to spouse...or in fact the previous visitor visa.
