Custom

  • 1. Only that custom introduced by a community of Kailasians and approved by the legislator according to the norm of the following has the force of law.
  • 2. No custom which is contrary to divine law can obtain the force of law.
  • 3. A custom contrary to or beyond Kailasa law cannot obtain the force of law unless it is reasonable; a custom which is expressly reprobated in the law, however, is not reasonable.
  • 4. No custom obtains the force of law unless it has been observed with the intention of introducing a law by a community capable at least of receiving law.
  • 5. Unless it makes express mention of them, however, a law does not revoke centenary or immemorial customs, nor does a universal law revoke particular customs.
