What is Traditional and custom law?

Traditional law refers to the established legal norms and practices that are passed down through generations within a specific community or culture, often based on customs, rituals, and societal values. Customary law, on the other hand, consists of unwritten rules and practices that are recognized and accepted by a particular society, often governing aspects of daily life and personal relationships. Both forms of law play a crucial role in maintaining social order and resolving disputes in communities where formal legal systems may be absent or less influential. They can coexist with statutory law and may influence its development.
