A quick definition of torture:

Torture is when someone causes another person to feel extreme pain and suffering on purpose. This can happen as a punishment, to force someone to do something, or to get information or a confession. It is against the law in most countries and is considered a very serious crime. The United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court both say that torture is not allowed and can be punished.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Torture is the act of causing severe pain and suffering to a person, either as punishment, to force them to do something, or to get information or a confession. It is against the law in most countries and is considered a violation of human rights.

Examples: Examples of torture include beating, electric shocks, waterboarding, and sexual abuse. For instance, a government may torture a person to get information about a terrorist group or to force them to confess to a crime they did not commit. In some cases, torture is used as a form of punishment, such as in public floggings or canings.

The examples illustrate how torture can take many forms and can be used for different purposes. They also show how torture can cause physical and psychological harm to the victim, which is why it is considered a serious crime.
