The Question:
“Customary law is the law of the local people as developed and handed down from time
immemorial. A local word which is quite widely used in South-east Asia for recognised
customary behavior is the word “adat”. Rural people in general have a high regard for adat and
usually expect persons from outside the locality to respect it. Owen Rutter provides a
distinction between a law and a customs by saying that “strictly speaking the difference
between a law and a custom is that a law is a rule of which a judicial court takes cognizance,
punishing its infraction, whereas a custom is where it punishes in its own manner those who
disobeys it”
