GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:en sus primeras nupcias
English translation:(married) in first wedlock
Entered by: Gabriela Galtero

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law: Contract(s)
Spanish term or phrase: en sus primeras nupcias
Context:
Ante mí, el notario autorizante, comparecen los cónyuges EN SUS PRIMERAS NUPCIAS Fulano de Tal y Mengana de Más Cual, quienes exponen que han convenido en celebrar el siguiente contrato, etc.

Any elegant way to express this in English? I know it's difficult, because this type of thing is not even mentioned in English documents, but that's precisely the point.

Thanks,

Tony Palomo

neutral  translatol: This is much more contemporary than the other answer, but the context here is definitely legalese and so the more antique expression is appropriate.
