Abstract
Pakistan, now hardly seventeen years old, cannot be said to have developed any new customary law. That part of customary law which was applicable before partition in the area now comprising Pakistan could be termed customary law in Pakistan. It is primarily the customary law in the Punjab regarding inheritance, succession, adoption and alienation, etc. which had overridden the personal law, and even the statutory law, in these matters.
