It includes a summary account of the history and social organisation of the Nuer and provides a descriptive analysis of their customary practices concerning homicide, blood-feuds, marriage and divorce and the settlement of disputes by arbitration and the award of compensation. It shows how in the first half of the twentieth century, as a result of administrative action and in particular the establishment of 'Chiefs' Courts' a system of law developed, which although based on customary procedures, introduced many concepts which were quite unknown to the Nuer in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45240279138455,"sku":"9781138584716","price":2988.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138584716.webp?v=1769225101","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-manual-of-nuer-law-being-an-account-of-customary-law-its-evolution-and-development-in-the-courts-established-by-the-sudan-government-9781138584716","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
