Tribal Customary Laws
The tribals are the largest or one of the largest tribal peoples among the indian peoples of Indian sub continent. From the time immemorial they have customary laws which are governing the law and order situation in their ethic groups. Besides the marriage customary laws there are many more laws relating their day today social and cultural life. The Government of India too in the 5th and the 6th Schedule of the Constitution of the country provide several provisions safeguarding the indigenous peoples rights and directions to uphold them. But in the tribal Districts of india we can see several police cases harassing the tribal in the cases of elopement, abductions and settlement of marriages disputes in the police stations and courts. Due to this victimization the poor indigenous tribal who are mostly below poverty line have to pay off huge sums of the money to the police and court proceedings leaving them poor and impoverished as ever .
The customary tribal laws are not only for the marriage but in may more areas of social life should be respected. It will stop millions and millions of rupees from the tribe including in all the civil district going to the non tribal society leaving the former poor as ever.
