which has two contradictions. He's not her husband in the photo and the photo taken in 1939 can't picture her in 1941 unless it's a very special camera.
I'm confused about the point of this example. I constructed no such sentence, or anything like it.
I thought Coffeebean was looking for something less awkward, which was the intent of my original response. Perhaps this will satisfy?:
"Wyman is pictured in 1941 while married to her third husband, Ronald Reagan."
I believe this makes clear that Ronald Reagan was her husband "then".
