Il semble que "pronounced and decreed "soit l'expression consacrée pour les jugements. Cela ne concerne pas l'inscription au registre de l'état-civil. Je mettrais donc seulement "prononcé".

"The language of judgments, therefore, is not that "it is decreed," or "resolved," by the court; but "it is considered," (consideratum est per curiam) that the plaintiff recover his debt, damages, or possession, as the case may require, or that the defendant do go without day. This implies that the judgment is not so much the decision of the court, as the sentence of the law pronounced and decreed by the court, after due deliberation and inquiry."

A divorce is "pronounced" when a judge has ruled; it implies that the two spouses are no longer husband and wife. "Pronounced and decreed" is to my mind what we call in French "prononcer un divorce".
The French translation of "decree" is "décréter", but a judge does not "décrète" a divorce in French. |
