Spanish term or phrase: Art. 66.- Habilitado
This is from a Venezuelan Marriage Certificate. The end of the paragraph reads:
"... [marriage] efectuado en casade la familia xxx el dia 31 del mes de enero de 1997 a las 7:00p.m. Part. Nro. 30, Folio 30, ***Art. 66.- Habilitado"***
Is this "articulo 66"?
Habilitado I take it as authorized?

Thanks for the help

Art. 66 - Authorized/Qualified
Explanation:
Those are the two other possible meanings of "habilitado" in legalese English. See the AVH Legal, page 770.-

Now, it could also be "performed" as Michael says, but this is impossible to know if we don't know what the Art.66 is all about...

Regarding Section and Article, this is like that in the Common Law system, but if we are talking about a Venezuelan certificate, I would leave it as it is, specially if it is certified.

Suggest you check with your client.

I chose Authorized because of the definitions in a Spanish dictionary, which described it with an example "hacer capaz., apto desde el punto de vista legal; habilitar un menor". So I'll use that.
Thanks both for the imput

Explanation:
Given this context, Ii would opt for "performed" - in other words, the marriage was conssumated at the time and date indicated right before.

In Thomas West's Legal and Business Dictionary, there are two different linguistic environments with "habilitar" - one meaning "performed" and the the meaning "affixed" as with stamps in an official recording in a book or registry.
