Sounds like your boyfriends only concern is himself, does not follow rule etc, why do you come to this forum hoping for help for your pitiful boyfriend! "
seems pretty judgmental, and whilst there has been lots of cases of scam marriages the poster says they have a child together so would be harder for them to show this was a sham.
Why not post on the EEA section if as your ID suggests you are an EEA national in the UK. The rules are very easy for EEA nationals, hence the sham marriages. Once you are married he would apply for an EEA family permit.
It is possible that the registrar would alert UKBA to your situation if he/ she suspected a sham, it is the risk you have to take. Given you are in a relationship with him but not living together it would be hard to show that you are in a relationship akin to marriage to qualify for a visa, without marrying.
You could always go to your country and marry and then apply from there assuming he would be granted entry to your country or you could go to Pakistan and marry
