English term

Decree of Declarator

English to French Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Scottish marriage certificate
Hello,

This is from Column 6 of an Entry from the Register of Marriages in Scotland:

If a regular marriage, signature and designation of officiating
minister or registrar and signatures and addresses of witnesses
If an irregular marriage, date of Decree of Declarator, or of
Sheriff's warrant

I know that "Declarator" has a specific meaning in Scottish law:

Declarator An order declaring that some right exists or does not exist which has legal consequence.

Decree The common term for a final judgment.

http://www.scotland-judiciary.org.uk/29/0/Glossary/a#D


Lastly, here's how https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/article/irregular-marriag... describes both types of marriages:

Until the mid-twentieth century most people in Scotland were married by a minister, in a 'regular' marriage. This involved banns being read on three consecutive Sundays at the parish church. However, a minority were wed by 'irregular' marriage, in which a man and a woman made a declaration in front of two witnesses, hence the other name ‘marriage by declaration’. By showing proofs of their marriage the parties could obtain a warrant of a sheriff or sheriff substitute to have the marriage registered by the local registrar. Churches disagreed with these marriages in principle, but accepted them for fear that couples would otherwise 'live in sin'.

Any ideas on how to translate Decreeof Declarator?

Many thanks.

À tout hasard... et avec les réserves d'usage, mais puisqu'il s'agit d'un order declaring that some right exists or does not exist, voir par ex. <p>when a party asks for a declaratory judgment stating that the marriage is valid or, conversely, that it is
invalid
<p>><p>« quand une partie demande un jugement déclaratif qui reconnaît le mariage comme valable ou au contraire qui
déclare qu'il ne l'est pas. »<p>( https://assets.hcch.net/docs/af508de1-0674-4689-b127-cde2280... )

:-) Of course! The absence of comments or answers may simply mean that it's a very 'interesting' (read: challenging) question. Et si le silence persiste, vous pouvez toujours essayer, en désespoir de cause, d'appeler les consulats de France à Édimbourg et Glasgow. Ils ont peut-être déjà été confrontés à ce type d'order.

Merci, Ph_B !
agree Germaine : Au Québec et en France, on emploi aussi "jugement déclaratoire" dans le même sens.
