English to afrikaans meaning of

perjury

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "meineed" is die misdryf om opsetlik 'n onwaarheid in 'n hof te vertel nadat 'n eed of bevestiging afgelê is om die waarheid te vertel, of in enige beëdigde verklaring. Dit is die daad van lieg onder eed, wat as 'n ernstige misdaad beskou word aangesien dit die integriteit van die regstelsel ondermyn en tot onregmatige skuldigbevindings of vryspraak kan lei.
