English translation:married under the community property regime
Explanation:
Is this a Brazilian document? If so, it is ambiguous. It could well refer to "regime de comunhão de bens", which would translate as above (see link) and means that all the property of the couple, even what they had before marrying, belongs to both. But the most common, and default, property regime is the partial community property regime. Is there nothing else in the text that qualifies "regime comum"?

Indeed from Brazil. Didn't realize the phrase was the same as regime de comunhão de bens (which I've translated many times before). Muito obrigado!

agree  Silvia Aquino: You also need to know if the marriage occurred before or after 1977, because there were changes in the law regarding property.

Explanation:
"Regime comum" = Registro de comunhão parcial de bens

"O regime comum para a divisão de bens do casal é o chamado regime de comunhão parcial de bens, no qual, em linhas gerais, o casal dividirá os bens que adquirir após o casamento, exceto herança ou doação." Source: http://www.cartoriolucas.com.br/duvidas_frequentes/duvida/du...

"[In Brazil] The matrimonial regime is determined by prenuptial agreements, and in the absence of which the partial community of property regime applies (arts. 1639-1688)." Source: http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/Y4311E/y4311e04.htm
