WHAT DOES PERJURED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

perjured

Perjury

Perjury, also known as forswearing, is the intentional act of swearing a false oath or of falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters material to an official proceeding. Contrary to popular misconception, no crime has occurred when a false statement is made while under oath or subject to penalty—instead, criminal culpability only attaches at the instant the declarant falsely asserts the truth of statements which are material to the outcome of the proceeding. For example, it is not perjury to lie about one's age except where age is a fact material to influencing the legal result, such as eligibility for old age retirement benefits or whether a person was of an age to have legal capacity. Perjury is considered a serious offence as it usurps the order created by the Courts. It results in miscarriages of justice, secondary detriment to the person already victim to the first offense, and general detriment to the trust of peace exchanged for payment of taxes.
