Three Seals Law

Medieval and Early Modern Constitutional Charters

The Three Seals Law is a compilation of Siamese legal texts ordered by King Rama I in 1805, gathering twenty seven laws that mostly dated from the Ayutthaya period and had survived the destruction of Ayutthaya in 1767. The compilation covers matters including theft, inheritance, marriage, slavery, crimes against the state, regulation of the monkhood and civil procedure. Although later superseded in most areas by modern Thai codes, the Supreme Court of Justice of Thailand ruled in 1978 that provisions not superseded, including the Tenets of Indra section, remain in force.
