no les comprenden las generales de derecho

Not for points Spanish to English Other Law (general) marriage in catholic church
the excerpt below is taken from a Informacion Matrimonial record made by a priest in the country of Panama in 1909:

Como testigos presentaron á Evaristo Moreno y Braulio Correa, mayores de edad, católicos y vecinos de esta parroquia; quienes bajo la gravedad del juramento, declararon: que conocen á los pretendientes de vista, trato y comunicación; que jura con ellos no les comprenden las generales de derecho, que son católicos, solteros y que no tienen impedimento alguno. Lo mismo consta de la exposición reservada de los pretendientes.

they are not included by the general provisions of the law

Declined
To be included in the sense of being included among the persons mentioned in the law as being prevented from testifying, being a party to trials, a witness, etc.
----
La circunstancia de que el testigo se encuentre comprendido en las generales de la ley no excluye en modo alguno el valor del testimonio pues se expresa que las preliminares de la ley no constituyen una tacha de los dichos del deponente, sino un elemento de juicio más para la evaluación judicial de su eficacia probatoria.

they are not precluded/disbarred under the general statutory provisions

Declined
We would not say "included" in English as this is certifying that these persons (the witnesses) are not precluded or disbarred from being witnesses to a marriage, etc.

To merely say they are "included" (without doubling the length of the sentence) would be misleading.

general principles and provisions

"Legal provisions are usually included in a contract or other type of legal agreement to protect the interests of the parties involved."

(general civil code of acceptance among citizens)

I note that from a Spanish reference below, 'general legal codes' in a tribunal are a set of questions which a witness must answer.

"Los principios generales del derecho son un grupo de afirmaciones que se consideran racionalmente verdaderas y éticamente justas, y que sirven de fundamento al sistema jurídico de un Estado."
https://www.lifeder.com/principios-generales-derecho/

"Generales de la ley son preguntas que el tribunal formula al testigo con carácter previo a su declaración, referidas a cuestiones relativas a su identidad, parentesco, relación o dependencias con las partes, la defensa o representación procesal ..."
