A quick definition of condone:

Term: Condone

Definition: Condone means to forgive or overlook someone's bad behavior or actions, which can make it seem like it's okay to do those things. For example, if a boss knows that an employee is doing something wrong but doesn't stop them, they are condoning that behavior. In divorce, condone means to forgive your partner for something they did wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To condone means to forgive, overlook, or pardon someone's wrong or illegal action, which can make it seem like the action is acceptable.

For example, if a manager knows that an employee is doing something wrong but doesn't do anything to stop it, they are condoning the behavior. In legal cases, if a corporation's officers or directors condone illegal behavior, the corporation may be subject to punitive damages.

In the context of divorce, condone means to forgive a spouse's wrongdoing, such as infidelity.

Example: The CEO of the company was found to have condoned the illegal actions of his subordinates, leading to the company being fined millions of dollars.

Explanation: The CEO knew about the illegal actions but did not take any action to stop them, which made it seem like the actions were acceptable to him. This led to the company being punished for the illegal behavior.
