if you are wondering what makes customary land different from any other land, then today you are in the right place.
1. Who owns the land?
If the land is customary, then usually it is not owned by an individual. It is owned by the family, clan or community. For example, no one person owns burial grounds, and a single person cannot sell the burial grounds. This land is owned as a community and so before an individual does anything about it or with it, there should be consent from all members of that land/ community.
It is also possible for a group to own other types of land however this is by agreement, not by customs.
