The Parsi law[1] is the law governing the Parsi Zoroastrian community of India. Parsi law is largely derived from nineteenth century's legal tradition.[2] In particular, the main legislative texts of the Parsi law are:

  • Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1865.
  • Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936.
  • Parsi Marriage and Divorce (Amendment) Act, 1940.
  • Parsi Marriage and Divorce (Amendment) Act, 1988.
