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.

A Rhymed Octosyllabic Curse

To fifty lines.”
