Not sure what you mean "married but no papers" and assume "here here" is UK

If she wishes to visit the UK (and is really married) then she should apply for a visitors visa for the reason 'to visit family'

The VAF1 is the correct form but the content of the form changed towards the end of last year so make sure she has the current one.

Guidance and application forms can be downloaded from the Visa Application centre site and she must submit it in person (not post it)

Then you are not legally married, she applies on the same form but the purpose of the visit is 'tourist". There is no specific form to act as sponsor, you provide a package with the evidence required as suggested here
