what is an abrogada

Question

My female friend received a letter addressed to her married name. Following the name was a comma and the term Abrogada.

She instinctively thought the writer meant Abogada, or female lawyer.

Is the word Abrogada common in Latin, Central America or Mexico? Is it Philippine or Castillian?

Thank you.

Answer 1

I am sure it was a typo, just abogada.

Welcome to the forum

Answer 2

The term would be almost certainly be abogada = a female lawyer

The extra letter would be a typing error/typo

the verb abrogar means to abrogate but I have never heard of a person making their living doing this

I hope that helps

Must be abogada in this case! - pacofinkler, Apr 9, 2011

Answer 3

Puede referirse a abogada escrito erróneamente.

Pero el término abrogada o abrogado existe y se refiere a una norma o ley derogada(=abrogada) .

Derogada o abrogada quiere decir que ha perdido su fuerza legal al ser sustituida por otra.

Es un término técnico del mundo jurídico que no encontrarás nunca en la calle.
