The reign of Alááfin Nyanché had matured and the realm had become stable and prosperous. To maintain the prosperity and stability, the Alááfin needed to effectively adminstrate the lands and for that law was needed. While the Alááfin did turn to old documents, the code of law of Tozàn was entirely new when it was compiled. The basis of the adminstration stayed much the same way too.

Relevant or interesting parts of the new laws or adminstration followed below:

Adminstration

The adminstration of land was done by officials in service to the state. The offices required a person to be of the nobility (uyó) but nothing else. The list of all regional offices was maintained in Uwára to prevent the inflation of offices, but they were paid from the provinces.

• Provinces (hùchashu) had a governor (hùcha). Each governor served for a term of two years and they were not allowed to serve consecutive terms. There were five provinces at the time of the introduction of the legal code as well as the land around Uwára, which had no governor.
• Counties (yasuwé) had an inspector (yasàwi). Each inspector served for a term of four years and they were allowed to serve consecutive terms. There were seventeen counties, as a province typically had three or more counties below it.
• Districts (ngashu) had a district magistrate (ngózi). Each magistrate could serve a term of ten years, but not consecutive terms. Additionally, while district magistrates were appointed on the suggestion of the governor, they had to have lived in the county where their district was located for ten years or in the province for twenty. This was to prevent governors from appointing family members with no ties to the offices. There were 201 districts.

Marriage and inheritance (and adoption)

Among the Obibo, polygamy had been widely practised before the advent of Kayasha, but the duality of the faith had brought a dual monogamous marriage with it. However, despite Kayasha's apparent leanings toward heterosexuality, the complete normality of homosexuality in Tozàn persisted mostly unharmed through the spread of Kayasha. While the new legal code outlawed polygamy, it enshrined the "gay marriage", if you wish.

• Marriage was a matter of the state, not faith. A marriage was a document signed by a district official.
• Any two people could marry, insofar as they were both nobility, both commoners or both slaves. Commoners could marry nobles if the commoners were men and the nobles men or women.
• Any married couple could divorce if both parties agreed, if the party that did not agree was financially independent from the other or if the party that did not agree was found guilty of adultry.
• Mothers were the sole parent of children born outside marriage. Fathers had no obligation to these children, but received nothing for it either, they were not recognised as father.
• Intercourse between two unmarried individuals was not illegal nor was adultry, but if there was proof of adultry between a man and a woman during pregnancy or three months before it, the man had to provide rich compensation to cover the expenses of the child.

Regarding inheritance:

• Land was inherited according to the wishes of the deceased, but in absence of those it was divided equally among all their children.
• Titles of the nobility were inherited according to absolute primogeniture: the firstborn child inherited the title regardless of their gender.
• The title of Alááfin was inherited through extensive female-preference primogeniture. Daughters or their children were first in line of succession, then sisters or their children, then cousins or their children and then sons.
• Children born of a noble mother were all also noble. Nobility could only be inherited through the matrilineal line.
• As such, children inherited their dynasty, noble house, tribe or clan from their mother and never from their father.

Regarding adoption:

• Any grown person could adopt one younger than themselves.
• The adopted had to approve, or their parents had to if they are not yet seventeen or older. In that case, the adopted did not need to approve.
• Any adopted was, concerning inheritance, a full child but instead of their birth date, the date of adoption counted: a child born before the adoption came before the adopted, a child born after came after, unless the mother was already pregnant at the time of the adoption.

Punishment

The laws in Tozàn considered someone innocent until proven guilty and it was forbidden to imprison a free man, but not slaves. However, fleeing from the law as a suspect was a crime of its own and the punishment for that could be made effective upon capture.

• Fleeing from the law: imprisonment and burning of the right foot.
• Fleeing as a slave: death by stoning.
• Killing a slave: financial compensation to the owner.
• Maiming a slave: financial compensation to the owner.
• Killing or maiming one's own slave without reason: ten to twenty sticklashes.
• Theft: financial compensation and the breaking of a leg.
• Fraudulence: twenty sticklashes to exile.
• Rape of a man: thirty sticklashes.
• Rape of a woman: death by burning.
• Rape of a child: death by snake pit.
• Child murder: death by snake pit.
• Murder: death by arrows.
• Maiming and abuse: twenty sticklashes to dismemberment of one or more limbs.
• Murder of tame elephant: financial compensation to the owner and death by drowning.
• Murder of sacred animal or poaching: branding of the forehead and enslavement in the mines.
• Murder of sacred animal or poaching while in service to the Alááfin: death by upside down hanging in the wild.
• Incest: thirty sticklashes.
• Treason: death by hyenas.
• Desertion: death by stoning.
• Insulting a noble: ten sticklashes.
• Insulting the Alááfin: fifty sticklashes.
