** They break their own laws because [[Might Makes Right]] and there's no one around to actually prevent them from doing so. The Kirkwall chantry basically works on the honor system with Templars, trusting them to behave responsibly. |

*** The Sebastian DLC shows that eventually a Chantry senior agent (Leliana, in fact) is sent to investigate reports of abuse in the Kirkwall Circle. Unfortunately by that point things are already far enough down the slippery slide to hell and so there's enough blood magic oozing all around for Meredith to make the plausible (bullshit, but plausible) claim that while her recent actions might be epically harsh they are a necessary reaction to an imminent crisis situation and a desperate attempt to avoid having to call down a Right of Annulment later after shit hits critical mass, as opposed to being 'no, we've been doing this all along for the lolz' and 'the voices in my head told me this was a good idea'. Thus reassured, Leliana's report to the Divine is 'wait and see' rather than 'immediate intervention required'. Shortly after this, the Chantry explodes. |

**** Confirmed in DA:I - one of Leliana's dialogue options is her expressing regret that when she was sent to evaluate the situation in Kirkwall shortly before things hit critical mass, she believed Meredith's explanation and made the wrong call. |
