generations. It is not codified in written statutes or legislation. Instead, it is based on
v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4 v4
customs, traditions, and practices that have evolved within specific communities over

time. This unwritten nature allows for flexibility and adaptability to local

circumstances.
