Thanks Anis. Can I also ask you how you would translate دفتر المسودات which comes in the same sentence?
Anis Farhat Oct 7, 2014:
Hi again, I just wanted to make things clear about the translation of this word (الجليس) which has been misunderstood/mistranslated as the context is Tunisian.
As noted earlier, it means another "notary", not a mere "companion", or a "registrar". In French, the official word used in Tunisia is "Notaire assesseur".

In the presence of the "assessor notary"

Well, the word " الجليس" means another "notary" and it has nothing to do with "registrar".

In Tunisia, when two people contract marriage before a notary public, there must be another notary. We refer to this notary as " الجليس".

In French, it is "Notaire assesseur".

By the way, this is the official word used in Tunisia.

See link below about "assessor notary" in Poland.

Hope things are clear now.
