All the excitement over the wedding of Justin John with Vijimol Shaji, which was expected to mark the end of endogamy practised by the Knanaya Catholics, fizzled out with the function in Kasaragod on May 18 turning into a damp squib in the absence of consent from the Knanaya Church.
Upset over the Church’s indifference, the bridegroom is now slated to move a contempt of court petition in the High Court against the Knanaya Church.
The 31-year-old bridegroom, a member of St. Anne’s Church, Kottody, in Kasaragod under the Knanaya Archeparchy of Kottayam, was slated to marry Vijimol, a member of St Xavier’s Church, Kottody, under the Thalassery archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church.
