Marriage customs


By mazochoa - Posted on 23 October 2011

Hello,

I have a question about the protocol/customs of the marriage process of Mexico historically.

I have found more that one record for the same marriage in some cases so my first question is did each individual have to register/license in their respective parish and civilly or am I misunderstanding?

Also is the "informacion matrimonial" part of the licensing process? dispensa? I have this record from the "informacion matrimonial" and although I cannot translate the entire document yet before I spend hour on deciphering its content I thought to ask is it worth the trouble? will this document contain any family information other than parents names?

Thanks, as always, for your help in advance.

Best regards,
Monica Ochoa
