Code of Canons of The Eastern Churches, 1990
As already mentioned, the marriage discipline contained in the decrees of the Council of Trent and modified by the Synod of Diamper applied to the Syrian Catholics. Codification of canon law applicable to Catholics of the oriental churches, including that of the Syrian Catholics of India, was attempted by Pope Pius XI in 1929 and the matrimonial law of the Oriental Churches was promulgated on 22 February, 1949 which took effect from 2 May, 1949. (See Victor J. Pospishill, “Code of Oriental Canon Law – the Law on Marriage”. (1962) Chicago, at 17). And it remained the personal law of the Syrian Catholics at the time of the commencement of the Constitution of India. (See Leelamma V. Dilip Kumar 1992 (1) KLT 651= AIR 1993 Ker. 57) It continued to be the personal law till the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches was promulgated on 18 October, 1990 which became effective from 1 October, 1991.
