English term

confidential marriage

English to German Law/Patents
context: US license and certificate of confidential marriage
Maybe "confidential" refers to that the couple to be married has been living together as husband and wife before their actual marriage?
Is there a corresponding term for "confidential marriage" in German?

geheim gehaltene Eheschliessung

nicht öffentlich bekannte Eheschliessung.
Ich bin nicht 100 pro sicher: Webster defines confidential as "known only to a few people, trusted with secret matters". Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass für prominente Persoenlichkeiten dies vielleicht von Bedeutung sein könnte.(No banns have been read). Does this help?

Just a feeling.

geheime Ehe

it seems to me that this couple wants to remarry officially. They kept their first marriage secret.
Otherwise their relationship would have been de facto in both languages.
Hope it fits.
