whereas
यतः,चूंकि, क्योंकि, जबकि,यद्यपि


Explanation:
In legal terminology, the Hindi equivalent of the term whereas has been given as यतः which is a Sanskrit word, but in general usage it means चूंकि, क्योंकि, जबकि, यद्यपि and if you wish to keep the translation simple, you may use the Hindi word चूंकि because this word is also prevalent.

  -> धन्यवाद! मैं व्याख्या में पहले ही स्पष्ट कर चुका हूँ कि विधिक अनुवाद में 'चूंकि' का उपयोग उचित है। 'जबकि' और 'यद्यपि' का उपयोग सामान्य अर्थ में होता है। उदाहरणार्थ यहाँ इस वाक्य में whereas का अनुवाद देखें: "वह मुस्लिम है, यद्यपि उसकी पत्नी हिन्दू है।"

  -> Yes, I agree.Therefore, I had mentioned in the explanation that "you may use the Hindi word चूंकि because this word is also prevalent. However, यतः is the Hindi equivalent for 'whereas' as given in the 'Legal Glossary' published by the Govt. of India.

agree  Pundora: But जबकि denotes contrast and doesn't fit into the given context. It shouldn't be used at the beginning for 'whereas' in my opinion.

whereas
चूंकि/जबकि/ इस कारण से कि


Explanation:
As the word 'whereas' here appears to be used as an introductory statement to a formal document, I would suggest the above mentioned hindi equivalents for it.

"In the law the term whereas is used as the introductory word to a recital in a formal document. A recital contains words of introduction to a contract, statute, proclamation, or other writing. In a contract a whereas clause is an introductory statement that means "considering that" or "that being the case." The clause explains the reasons for the execution of the contract and, in some cases, describes its purpose. "
