Tribal Customary Law

Tribal Customary Law refers to the traditional rules and practices that govern the social, cultural, and legal interactions within indigenous or tribal communities. These laws are often unwritten and passed down through generations, reflecting the community's values, beliefs, and customs. They address various aspects of life, including family matters, land use, and conflict resolution. While Tribal Customary Law can complement or intersect with national legal systems, it emphasizes local customs, community consensus, and restorative justice, focusing on maintaining harmony and social order within the tribe.
