Transfer from one Eastern Rite (Chaldean) to another Eastern Rite (Maronite)

Get your future husband to make a declaration before a Chaldean minister (signed) that he desires to transfer to the Maronite Rite. This should not be done lightly as it is permanent. The Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches (CCEO) is on your side.

It complicated, but doable!

Canon 36 The transfer to another Church sui iuris takes effect at the moment a declaration is made before the local hierarch or the proper pastor of the same Church or a priest delegated by either of them and two witnesses, unless the rescript of the Apostolic See provides otherwise.

Canon 37 Every enrollment in a certain Church sui iuris or transfer to another Church sui iuris should be recorded in the baptismal register of the parish where the baptism was celebrated, even, as the case may be, in a Latin parish; if this cannot be done, it is to be kept by the proper pastor in another document in the archive of the parish of the Church sui iuris of enrolment.
