Hermano, So maybe this "matrimonial alvara" was a kind of marriage bann/intent? They posted it for 3 days and got married quickly, before she started to show she was pregnant? Or, like you said, because her husband died in Brasil (or who really knows, maybe he went to Brasil and abandoned her and after a few years she just said he died).
Extra info at the bottom didn't really say much. Thanks for your help!
