Sheti Sharghy ( Kazakh Жеті жарғы , also transcribed as Zheti Zhargy ) is a Central Asian - Kazakh legal code from the early 18th century. In it, by Tauke Khan , the khan of the Kazakhs ( Kazak khanate ), Kazakh traditional customary law ( adat ) and Islamic law were combined to form a code. The collection is divided into seven parts.

"Tauke was the last ruler of the Kazakh unitary state, an important soldier, administrator and legislator, whose code ( Dschety Zhargy ) gave nomadic customary law ( adat ) the power of written law."
