Thereabout
Hello!
Can I use "thereabout" in the following context? Or should I rephrase the sentence?
The statement details that the parties entered into marriage on November 11, 2012 in Madrid and marriage certificate No. XXXXXX was issued thereabout.
Thanks

, the details. That's not what this statement does. "Parties" is a formal usage, even for a report.

There are a couple of odd things about this:
- The verb "details" means to give full particulars, i.e., the details. That's not what this statement does.
- "Parties" is a formal usage, even for a report.
- "Entered into marriage" is better "were married" or "got married."
- The word is "thereabouts." Marriage certificates may be issued before the marriage and signed
