We went the other with my girlfriend last winter... no real problems anywhere. Iran seemed like the most conservative country in this regard, sometimes the police, who escorted us on the way to Pakistan, seemed worried, if she as much as went to buy some water for us, while we were taking a break somewhere. I guess they expected her to stay within 2 meters from me at all times.
Women (including tourists) need to wear a scarf to cover all their hair in public in Iran, and i think would also be a good idea for Pakistan. And she also had a tunica-type dress, which gave some extra shelter for the behind, on top of her leather-suit, when we crossed the borders. That actually looked funny!
We were later in Indonesia, and I guess we were lucky then, because I cant remember having any trouble with accommodation, or asking for marriage certificate. Might depend a lot on the area, I think.
