When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations

It would help to have the first part of the sentence to be sure how to word the translation in the best way possible.
... the girl being presented was born ___________ (birthdate), is named ______________, who is his daughter and that of his spouse _____________.

MollyRose
: This sounds more natural than the others proposed. The name can be added like this, "and his spouse's (name) daughter." Some translators might think this would be taking too much liberty, though.

who is the daughter of (her-)self and of (her) spouse
...who is his and his spouse's daughter... lends itself to further ambiguity as 1. his may refer to the spouse or the daughter and 2. such spouse, if the father, may have adopted a non-biological child at birth.
Truly a PRO question for lateral thinkers.

Sometimes a married woman gives birth to a child whose biological father is not her husband.
Discussion
We don't have the whole context, and it doesn't appear to be a full sentence, but shouldn't it be either 'la niña que presenta QUE nació', or 'el xxx, tiene por nombre XXX, y es su hija y la de...'?
