Der Mulukī Ain von 1854, das erste Gesetzbuch Nepals, gehört zu den bedeutendsten Werken der modernen nepalesischen Rechtsgeschichte. Vom Staatsaufbau und Gerichtswesen über Tötungs- und Eigentumsdelikte bis hin zu Kasten- und Reinheitsvorschriften werden nahezu alle Aspekte des Straf- und Privatrechts, des öffentlichen, religiösen und Gewohnheitsrechts eingehend behandelt. Dadurch ist der Mulukī Ain nicht nur eine einzigartige Quelle für das politische, gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Leben in Nepal zur Zeit des 19. Jahrhunderts, sondern auch für die Stellung der hinduistischen Jurisprudenz in den Rechtskulturen Südasiens.
