This book treats canonical issues about marriage - especially matrimonial impediments. The author is fully aware that some people feel a little uneasy when they hear Canon Law. This is because there is the general perception that it is rigid and restrictive. This book will debunk all the anxiety and fears people have about Canon Law.

The topics have been treated in a way that simplifies its understanding without watering it down. It is Canon Law made simple. This means that, anyone who is able to read and write should be able to read this book, fully understand it, and, probably, develop the taste for more Canon Law. Priests are urged to have copies of this book. This is because many of the issues they deal with in their pastoral situations have to do with marriage and family life. This book, then, will equip them to understand some basic canonical topics, so that they can in turn use this knowledge to serve the People of God. The author also encourages all Catholics, especially, Catholic professionals, to get a copy of this book. We do not want Catholic professionals in only secular knowledge, but professionals in Catholic affairs as well. Every priest will tell you how delighted they are when they see their lay people sharing the Catholic faith with others. And who are those who can do it better than Catholic professionals? Marriage counsellors, those preparing for marriage, and those who intend to marry must also make sure they get a copy of this book. It will surely prepare them to appreciate Holy Matrimony as taught in the Catholic Church.
