Norwegian term or phrase: referansen
Det vises til at ekteskapet ble inngått før referansen var skilt fra sin pakistanske ektefelle.

This document refers several times to one of the parties in a dispute as 'referansen'. This is a form I have nor met before. Any suggestions for how to translate it into English would be very welcome.

Asker: I should have mentioned that there are two parties involved (3 actually, since it involves a bigamous marriage) and one of them is the applicant. The 'referensen' is another person.

Asker: Besides, I think the definition you gave is to a 'referee', i.e. a person who can provide references for an applicant)

Asker: Thanks Per, I have already delivered the assignment using this translation (with a note to the client), but I decided to ask here because I have never seen the word used like this in either English or Norwegian...have you?
