普什图瓦里，是普什图人不成文行事准则。其含义可也可以解释为普什图人的方式，其根源可追溯至前伊斯兰时代。但仍然在农村部落社会广泛使用。

普什图人多数在乡下生活，国王的力量控制不了那里要依靠酋长权威，是普什图人遵守普什图瓦里的主要原因。

荣誉、独立、公正、热情好客、宽恕，报复和宽容，对所有（特别是陌生人或客人）庇护。被认为是每个普什图人的责任。

普什图瓦里的基础创建在男性的名誉上，以好客、庇护及复仇为原则；财富多寡则以黄金、土地、女人作为衡量标准。男人失去了名誉，就会失去别人的尊重，也失去了财产与尊严。但是女性的好客与复仇则是不被接受，其被期待被动的角色，是可以被交易与争夺的财产。

Pashtunwali (Pashto:پښتونوالی‎) or Pakhtunwali is a non-written ethical code and traditional lifestyle which the indigenous Pashtun people follow. It is a system of law and governance that began during prehistoric times and is preserved and still in use today, mostly in the rural tribal areas. Its meaning may also be interpreted as "the way of the Pashtuns" or "the code of life". Pashtunwali dates back to ancient pre-Islamic times and is widely practiced among Pashtuns, especially among the non-urbanized Pashtuns in the countryside. In addition to being practiced by members of the Pashtun diaspora, it has been adopted by some non-Pashtun Afghans and Pakistanis that live in the Pashtun regions or close to the Pashtuns, who have gradually become Pashtunized over time. During the Pashtun-dominated Taliban regime, Pashtunwali was practiced throughout the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in conjunction with the Taliban's interpretation of Deobandi Islam.
