corporal oath

Read a random definition: habili modo

A quick definition of corporal oath:

An oath is a solemn promise or declaration that what someone is saying is true or that they will keep a promise. When someone takes an oath, they invite punishment if they are lying or break their promise. The legal effect of an oath is that the person can be punished for perjury if they are found to be lying. There are different types of oaths, such as assertory oaths, which attest to factual matters, and corporal oaths, which are made solemn by touching a sacred object, like the Bible. Oaths can be taken in court or outside of a legal proceeding, and they can be used to decide a case or to administer public office.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A corporal oath is a solemn declaration made by touching a sacred object, such as the Bible, to attest to the truth of a statement or the binding character of a promise. The person making the oath invites punishment if the statement is untrue or the promise is broken. The legal effect of an oath is to subject the person to penalties for perjury if the testimony is false.

Example: In a courtroom, a witness takes an assertory oath to attest to some factual matter. This is a type of corporal oath because the witness touches the Bible while making the declaration.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a corporal oath is made by touching a sacred object, such as the Bible, while making a solemn declaration. The witness is bound to tell the truth and can be punished for perjury if they lie. This type of oath is commonly used in legal proceedings to ensure the truthfulness of statements and promises.
