Adat refers to the traditional customs and practices that govern the social and cultural life of various communities, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. It encompasses a wide range of norms, values, and rituals that are passed down through generations, influencing behavior and social interactions within the community. In many societies, Adat serves as a framework for resolving disputes, conducting ceremonies, and maintaining social order. It often coexists with formal legal systems, providing a unique blend of cultural identity and social governance that reflects the history and beliefs of the people.
