When civilization begun to flourish, norms and standards of societies also thrived and preserved. copulation is lawfully decreed to be bound by marriage. Marital norm is either prescriptive or proscriptive which depends upon the societal standard. The Tausugs claims to be a Muslim tribe, their marriage custom is traditional however, but anchored on the Islamic principle where they are obliged to carefully observe the so-called ritual Nikah or Pagkawin.
