Transcription/translation Request - Marriage record 1743 - Gelting
The marriage record for Asmus Nehlsen, Schmidt (blacksmith) of Gongelsby and Catharina Kraacken (30th May) includes a lengthy narrative that I have a hard time with the handwriting. Can someone please transcribe that for me?

Thank you for that transcription. Please tell me if my translation is accurate…
"…his only wife, a shoemaker's daughter, who committed adultery while her husband was still alive, and consequently a royal dispensation should be obtained for both of these passes."
Does this mean that Catharina was the adulterer from a previous marriage or that Catharina was the illegitimate daughter of her mother, conceived by adultery while her mother was still married?
