The variety of rules followed in different parts of the country by different social groups is an aspect of the legal pluralism that is the main feature of both classical and modern Indian laws.Hindu and Muslim InfluenceNotwithstanding some modern positivistic legal interpretations that tend to limit their relevance, scholars fully recognized customary laws in classical Hindu law.
