Yes, religious or traditional marriages can count for immigration, if they are legally valid under local civil law.

A marriage must be officially recognized by the government of the country where it occurred not just by a religious institution.

U.S. immigration authorities (USCIS) care about the legal status of the marriage, not the religious or cultural ceremony alone.
