Ne Temere Decree
While matters remained so, the Tametsi decree of the Council of Trent was promulgated all over the world by the Ne Temere decree of August 2, 1907. Thereafter, the Canon Law of the Western Church came to be codified in 1917, and the Code came into force on May 19, 1918. This Code was made applicable to the Roman Catholics of the Latin Rite in India as well. This position has been recognised by the Courts in India as it has been held that the personal law applicable to Roman Catholics in India is the Canon Law of the Church of Rome.

“Thy brother by decree is banishèd.
If thou dost bend, and pray, and fawn for him,
I spurn thee like a cur out of my way.”
