Adat Perpatih
Since it is the adat perpatih society that follows its adat scrupulously, reference to Malay adat tends to be a reference to adat perpatih rather than to adat temenggung
Elements of adat perpatih in written form are found in digests of customary law, for example, a digest of customary law from Sungei Ujong, a Minangkabau legal digest from Perak, and another from Kuala pilah. These digests contain tribal sayings that have been handed down from generation to generation as much of the adat is contained in oral traditions.
Adat perpatih covers matters concerning matrimonial law and property and, to a limited extent, criminal law and restitution. More importantly, it covers matters concerning the state, which includes succession in title or lineage and the election of traditional chiefs.
