家谱 / birth certificate, Laos
French法语词条或短语: rang de femme
A birth certificate in Laotian (or so the client would have me believe), lists the usual things like time and place of birth. Under the section for the mother, after her name, age, and occupation, the text reads "rang de femme." Does this indicate whether she was the first or second, etc. wife? Why is that important for the child? Inheritance reasons? This is a pre-printed form and I can't read the answers on my copy. The client says they are handwritten in very light ink. Thanks very much in advance.

mediamatrix: 20:19 Jul 24, 2008: It would help enormously to know what the cert. says after this heading: is it a number? words? - if so what word(s)? If you can't read your copy I suggest you ask your client to tell you what it says on her original.
Elizeth Labega: 20:49 Jul 24, 2008: 1er rang - The client says it looks like 1er rang is what is written in under this category.
Irene McClure: 20:57 Jul 24, 2008: "First-rank wife" gets a few ghits and would corroborate liz's answer - also given that polygyny is not uncommon in some parts of Laos it would make sense...

同意 mediamatrix: Yes - considering that polygamy is legal in Laos - see http://www.ri.net/schools/East_Greenwich/Cole/laosfamily.htm... Hence the child's status will depend on his/her mother's position in the child's father's extended family.
