, 1. Which statement is correct? People voluntarily observe legal rules and
the rules for living in African customary law because of the following

(2) the religious or sacral (holy) element of the law, the knowledge that
if a person is harmed, that person will endeavour to get compensation
or will take measures to protect him or herself, fear of punishment and
the fact that only the indigenous leaders in the community have a broad
general knowledge of the law.
(3) the religious or sacral (holy) element of the law, the knowledge that
if a person is harmed, that person will endeavour to get compensation
or will take measures to protect him or herself, public opinion, and fear
of punishment.

, 4. The concrete versus the abstract approach that is characteristic of
customary law means that…
(1) specialised legal systems adopt the abstract approach and

of a marriage register to signify the conclusion of a marriage contract.

required in the formulation of contracts.

Rights.
(3) preserve the existence and identity of cultural groups.
