The Code of Canon Law, 1983
As far as the Latin Catholics in India are concerned, their personal law as codified in Codex Iuris Canonici in 1917 came to be revised in 1983 under the title, the Code of Canon Law. Therefore, there is no difficulty in tracing out the development of the personal law of Latin Catholics in the pre and post Constitution era. As regards the marriage discipline and the grounds for decree of nullity of marriages, there are no material differences between the canon law of the Syrian Catholics and that of the Latin Catholics.

Famous quotes containing the words code and/or canon:
“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“O! that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew;
Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d
His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world.
Fie on’t! O fie! ‘tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
