This is Akta Pinczow 1882 M16, the marriage of Rachmil RABINEK. Never seen a case like this where JRI-P does not return a line for the bride. A full translation would be nice but most important are bride's name, all dates, the couple's ages, towns, and professions, their parents names, ages, towns, and professions and whether they are living, any patronymics or matronymics, any other relatives, house numbers, the Rabbi, witnesses, and signatures... Thanks

I'll take a shot at this, just for the practice.

First, the groom's surname is written RUBINEK, not RABINEK. Don't know how it was in the JRI-P index, but the name is definitely RUBINEK, like actor Saul RUBINEK.

Groom - Rakhmil RUBINEK, bachelor, age 23, son of Itsko & Mash__ (? name spills into margin, not completely legible) RUBINEK

Bride - Perl Golda FINKELSHTEYN, maiden, age 23, daughter of Gersh and Sora Rivka FINKELSHTEYN

Recording date - 21 May/2 Jun 1882
Marriage date - unclear, possibly same day

The dates are confusing. The dates in the first line seem clear and logical - 21 May/2 Jun 1882. These are Julian/Gregorian dates and are 12 days apart as they should be in the 19th century. Later on, after bride and groom are listed, the dates of the banns are listed, but some of these dates appear to be after the recording date, not before it. And I don't see a clear statement of the marriage date, or the words for "today" or "yesterday" which often appear in marriage records. The handwriting is very hard for me to read, and that may be part of the problem.

Both lived in Pinsov (as transliterated), no indication that the parents are deceased that I could see.

This is only partial, but I hope it helps.
