Law/Patents / MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE - MEXICO
Spanish term or phrase: paragraph
Here is my version of most of it:
HAVING QUESTIONED THE BRIDE AND GROOM according to THE TERMS THAT THE LAW ORDERS AND WITHOUT ANY EXISTING LEGAL IMPEDIMENT OR ___________________________________FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE MARRIAGE, I DECLARE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE LAW AND BEFORE SOCIETY TO BE UNITED IN MARRIAGE AND THEIR PERFECT MARRIAGE CONTRACT AND LEGITIMIZE FOR ALL LEGAL ASPECTS, WHICH IS THE SAME AS I GAVE IN MY PREVIOUS READING, TO BE RATIFIED AND SIGNED IN UNITY THAT ALL TOOK PART KNOWINGLY ________AND WHO IMPRINTED THEIR FINGERPRINTS, ________. - respond in English, please.

Explanation:
About all I know how to do in this case is give you the whole thing:

After having questioned the parties as required by law, since there is either no legal impediment to solemnizing this marriage or any legal impediment existing has been excused, in the name of the law and before society I now declare you to be united in marriage, and your marriage contract to be formalized and legitimate for all legal purposes, after I had read this aloud it was acknowledged and signed together with me, the undersigned, by the persons involved herein who knew how to sign, and those who did not placed their fingerprints. I attest.

As for the "perfect" part, it means that the marriage has been formalized, "perfeccionado". That, however, is no guarantee that it will be a perfect marriage!

By the way, there was no Notary here. Marriages in Mexico are performed by the \"Juez/Oficial de Registro Civil\", translated as Judge or Clerk of Civil Registry, but they are one in the same regardless of the term used. It is then recorded right there.

You can be married by the good Padre too, but first you must have been married at the \"Registro\", so you get married twice!

DOY FE = I, (THE NOTARY), ATTEST

In the brackets you put the name of the profession of the person who attest it. I put it in brackets, just in case the person was not a notary.

For this type of legal jargon have a look at:
