===Family law===
Family concerns the description and delineation of the institution of the family and relationship between its participants. At its core it consists of the marital unit and its offspring and aims to look at the expectations and rights that individuals in such units possess.
==Enforcement of Canon Law==
The enforcement of canon law relates to the relationship between the letter of the law created and the efforts exerted to bring it to fruition in the physical world and the institutions created to support that process.
In some schools of Paxism, it is believed that there are layers of enforcement. Specifically, some believe that laws concerning the internal governance of the Magisterium must be independent of external forces whereas other believe that Paxist rulers should have some influence over the Magisterium which operates in their realm. As such, in some nations, the Magisterium might have a relationship with the state such that the state has power to make decisions over certain areas of its internal structure such as and most commonly the appointment of Magisters.
The second area of the enforcement of Canon law lies in how it is enforced within congregations and religiously established or affiliated bodies. Some believe that the Priests and Magisters have the responsibility to ensure that their flock have access to and perform on behalf of their congregants the sacraments, matrimonial administration and rebuking of those within their congregations. This goes so far as the nature of punishments for deviations from Canon law.
Two tools typically wielded by the Magisterium are as follows:
* Excommunication is the process of excluding someone from participation in formal religious structures due to some harm that their conduct is imposing on the institution.
* Anathemiation is the process of declaring a practice or belief system anathema i.e., impermissible. Anathema carries with it the weight that the practice or philosophy it condemns is an inherent effrontery to the Magisterium and by extension the religious order that emanates from scripture and by consequence the Most Divine and forbidding its practice.
Another area of enforcement is the imposition or propagation of religious values upon institutions of government and larger society. This can vary immensely based on context. In some systems, the Magisterium has the power to influence the creation of secular or temporal laws and the enforcement of Paxist law on non-adherents of Paxism through state institutions. This is the case in Packilvania where mechanisms such as the [[judiciary of Packilvania]] exist to enforce and impose Paxist law on all subjects of the [[Sultan of Packilvania]]. In contrast, in other countries the state institutions do not enforce or impose Paxist law on their citizens.
