A quick definition of dispensation:
Term: DISPENSATION
Definition: Dispensation means that sometimes people can be allowed to do something that is usually not allowed. It's like getting a special permission to break a rule or not do something that you're supposed to do.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Dispensation (dis-pen-say-shun) refers to an exemption from a law, duty, or penalty. It is a permission to do something that is usually not allowed.
- A student who has a medical condition may receive a dispensation from physical education classes.
- A religious organization may receive a dispensation from paying taxes.
- A prisoner may receive a dispensation from serving their full sentence due to good behavior.
These examples illustrate how dispensation can be used to exempt someone from a law or duty. In the first example, the student is exempt from participating in physical education due to a medical condition. In the second example, the religious organization is exempt from paying taxes due to their status as a non-profit organization. In the third example, the prisoner is exempt from serving their full sentence due to good behavior.
