The research of Muluberhan Hagos compares the customary laws of ethnic groups in Eritrea and the modern laws of the country, with a focus on the legal issues in society that emerge, understood from a gender perspective. These issues include the laws of person and gender, abortion, family law, succession and property, the law of contracts and criminal and civil liabilities in gender-related offences. Muluberhan Hagos treats customary law as a system that is dynamic and alive and responds to community matters. It is an excellent and detailed study on the relevance of customary law today. The book, which is part of the GAIC Network and African studies series published with Langaa, makes an important contribution to the literature on legal studies, African studies, social protection and governance.

4e de couv.: This report highlights human rights impacts and dilemmas associated with plural state and non-state laws, such as family laws based on religion, customary justice practices and Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms. Drawing on examples of such plural legal orders from around the world, it proposes principles and a framework to guide human rights practitioners and policy-makers. The report also identifies challenges related to incorporation of non-state law in state law, recognition of cultural differences in law, and justice sector reform. Emphasising the contested nature of culture, especially when dealing with gender equality, religious freedom and indigenous peoples' rights, it calls for evidence-based assessments of plural legal orders that give special attention to people on the margins of state and non-state law, and equality between and within communities.

The traditional customary law is concerned with the preservation and continuation of the family name and unity within the household, with the successor succeeding to both the status of the family head and inheritance. One of the principles that forms part of the DNA of the traditional customary law of succession, is the patriarchal rule of male primogeniture, which roots for the eldest sons as successors. This rule became part of the statutory law such as the Black Administration Act. Women and younger girls were thereby explicitly disregarded in the issues of intestate succession. This rule was declared invalid and unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court in Bhe v Magistrate, Khayelitsha as it is in conflict with the provisions of the Constitution. The Court constructed its decision around the fact that the primogeniture rule precluded widows from inheriting intestate from their deceased husbands' estates, daughters, younger male children as well as extra-marital children from inheriting from their deceased fathers' estates. The Court then gave the legislature the mandate of enacting legislation that will align the traditional customary law with the Constitution. It is then that the Reform of Customary Law of Succession and Related Matters Act (hereinafter RCLSA) was introduced, so as to deal with certain aspects that the Intestate Succession Act failed to attend to. Whether or not the RCLSA is legislation that specifically deals with the living African customary law of intestate succession and protects the rights of women and female children is the main objective of this research.

Customary Law in the Modern World is the study of a coherent and well-established legal system, which is now operating in the context of a modern nation-state and therefore poised between remaining relevant and the threat of marginalization. Focusing on Sudan, the author places customary law in its historical and cultural context, analyzing the fundamental and traditional values that underlie customary law and the impact of the war between the North and the South that lasted intermittently for half a century. He deals with the substance of customary law, covering a wide variety of areas: family law, property law, torts and criminal liability. Drawing on interviews conducted with judges, legislators and practicing lawyers on customary law and its future in the modern context, the book challenges the development of customary law to build on the positives of tradition and the reform of its shortcomings, particularly in the areas of human rights, gender equality and the protection of children. This book fills a gap in the literature on customary law, and will be of great interest to anyone interested in law, anthropology and politics.
