Question

A characteristic of a valid 'Custom' in jurisprudence is ________.

• A. Non-conformity
• B. Continuity
• C. Modernity
• D. Uncertainty

Hint:

Customs must be continuous, certain, and reasonable to be valid legal sources in jurisprudence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A valid legal custom must fulfill several criteria, and one of the most important is continuity — it must have been practiced consistently over a long time.
Other criteria include: reasonableness, certainty, and conformity with law.
- Non-conformity and uncertainty negate legal validity.
- Modernity is not required; in fact, ancient practices are often accepted if continuous.
