English term or phrase: Decree of Declarator
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.
