@sofiyyahabdullah Use the first one, the second is right BUT it’s long and unnecessary.

"Husband's copy" is better. "The copy of the husband" sounds like you have two husbands- the original husband and the copy. "Husband's copy" sounds like "the copy which belongs to the husband."

@bucklemaker so the same way its better to write "the groom's name" in the official certificate translation rather than "the name of the groom"?

No, that's a little different. "The name of the groom" doesn't have any other meaning, the way "copy of" does. But it's fine to say "groom's name" even on an official document.
