The third and final entry on the page may be a marriage record for Etie Presser, daughter of Abraham and Malka Sura. I'd love a full translation. Thanks you in advance.

Hello,
First, a few notes:

The groom was listed as “allegedly” born in 1882 because he did not provide a legal document to prove it. This is the reason there is a note about the groom’s majority (being of-age): to indicate that he was clearly an adult without needing further legal proof.

The bride’s parents were married only under Jewish rite, not civil law. (This situation was common at the time.) As a result, the bride is listed under her mother’s maiden name (LINTSCHITZ), even if she may have personally used her father’s surname (PRESSER).

Here is all the information:

No. 91

Groom: Selig ROTHBAUM, born in Skole, currently residing in Uhełna (Stryj District), son of the married couple Mendel ROTHBAUM and Sosia DRATTLER in Uhełna; allegedly born in 1882 [meaning that he did not present a legal document to prove it]; single

Bride: Etie Sosie LINTSCHITZ, born in Suchostaw (Husiatyn District), currently residing in Uhełna (Stryj District), daughter of the ritually married couple Abraham Rubin PRESSER and Malka Sara LINTSCHITZ in Suchostaw; born on 18 July 1878; single

Marriage: 23 December 1917, Stryj

Rabbi/Religious Teacher Performing Marriage: Saul LUSTHAUS, assistant rabbi in Stryj

Witnesses: Hersch RAKSENBERG and Juda Leib KURZER, shammosim (synagogue sextons) in Stryj

Notes: The age of majority of the groom is an overt fact. Birth certificate [presumably for the bride] dated in Kopyczyńce on 9 December 1917, No. 209[?]/[1]917. [The marriage was] announced three times.
