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.

“Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Faultless honesty is a sine qua non of business life. Not alone the honesty according to the moral code and the Bible. When I speak of honesty I refer to the small, hidden, evasive meannesses of our natures. I speak of the honesty of ourselves to ourselves.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“See how from far upon the eastern road
The star-led Wizards haste with odours sweet . . .”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
