On March 13, 1613 the viceroy D. Hyeronimo de Azevedo issued an order that no infidel should marry during the times forbidden by the Church and during other times of the year they could do so only outside their villages and observing all that the Concilio Provincial had laid down and other relevant laws, under pain of a fine of 1000 Xerafins, of which one-third would be paid to the accuser and two-thirds applied towards the expenses of the High Court.® A still more draconian order promulgated on January 81, 1620 ran as follows : “In the name of His Majesty I order that as from the date of publication of this order, no Hindu, of whatever nationality or status he may be, can or shall perform marriages in this city of Goa, nor in the islands or adjacent territories of His Majesty, under pain of a fine of 1000 Xerafins, one-third of which would be paid to the accuser and two-thirds applied towards the expenses of His Majesty’s navy .

On April 2, 1560, the viceroy D. Constantino de Braganca ordered that a large number of Brahmins, whose names were included in the rolls appended to the order should be thrown out of the island of Goa and the lands and fortresses of the Portuguese king. Only those who were natives of Salsete and Bardez were permitted to return to their villages. Others were banished under pain of their being made prisoners on the galleys without remission and losing all their property, one half to the accuser and the other to whatever purpose the viceroy may consider appropriate. They were given one month within which to dispose of their property.
