This study provides a detailed analysis of the historical significance of Customary laws, unwritten rules and traditions that developed over time within the ancient Baloch society. These laws were often based on the shared values, customs, and practices of the community, and they played a crucial role in regulating behavior, resolving disputes, and maintaining social order. This study also delves into the customary laws of ancient Baloch society, classifying them into constitutional, procedural, and substantive categories. The constitutional aspect encompasses the institutions of Sardar and the Council of Elders, forming the basis of governance. Procedural laws involve Mei’rh and Jirga, serving as institutional frameworks for dispute resolution. The substantive laws encompass diverse legal norms such as Bahooti (revenge), war ethics, Bijaar, Marriage laws, and regulations concerning minorities and vulnerable segments of society. The research aims to classify these laws and provide a detailed exploration of their essential components.
