Tribal customary laws

Tribal customary laws are traditional rules and practices that Indigenous communities develop and follow over generations to govern their social, cultural, and economic life. These laws reflect their values, norms, and collective understanding of justice, often addressing issues like marriage, conflict resolution, land rights, and community responsibilities. Unlike formal legal systems, customary laws are passed orally and are adaptable to community needs. They help maintain social cohesion, preserve cultural identity, and ensure that community members respect shared traditions and beliefs.
