Description: In this short commentary, the different facets of law governing the Christians in India had been dealt with. The Indian Christian Marriage Act, Indian Divorce Act, Indian Succession Act and several other legislations concerned with Christians had been incorporated apart from the rules framed under such legislations. Though a sincere attempt was made to cover all the aspects, as far as the internal administration and management of the respective churches and the relevant constitutions or by-laws of the respective churches, these aspects are concerned, they being too numerous and totally different from one area to yet another area, the same had not been touched in this book though these aspects also may have some relevance. It is no doubt true that this book cannot be said to be an exhaustive commentary on the subject, but definitely it can be said to be a good guide. - Preface.
