What were some gupta empire laws?

The Gupta Empire, which flourished from around 320 to 550 CE in ancient India, had a legal system that emphasized dharma (moral law) and social order. Laws were often derived from texts like the Manusmriti, which outlined rules for various social classes and emphasized duties, rights, and penalties. The legal framework included provisions for property rights, inheritance, and family matters, while also addressing criminal behavior with prescribed punishments. Additionally, local rulers had the authority to enforce laws, reflecting a blend of central and regional governance.
