Article 18 - Vows and Oaths

18.1
Vow (link)

A Vow is a solemn engagement or undertaking made to the Divine Creator to perform some action, to make some gift or sacrifice in return for special favour. A Vow made free from coercion, fear or deliberate deception must be fulfilled. A Vow made out of grave and unjust fear or malice is null by the law itself.

A Vow made by oration in the presence of others is always superior to a written Vow, or Vow made in private, even if recorded. A Vow is solemn if made by oration in the presence of others and if a legitimate superior Person accepts it in the name of a valid Juridic Person; otherwise it is simple. By its nature a Vow obliges only the person who makes it.

A Vow ceases by the lapse of the time designated to fulfill the obligation, by a substantial change of the matter promised, by the absence of a condition on which the vow depends, by the absence of the purpose of the vow, by dispensation, or by commutation. No temporal force or action nor Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Supreme Persons.

Only a Supreme Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Superior Persons and all lesser Persons. Only a Superior Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Ordinary Persons and all lesser Persons. Only an Ordinary Person can dispense or commute Solemn Vows of Curator Persons and all lesser Persons. Inferior Persons have no rights nor powers to dispense or commute Solemn Vows.

Excluding a Supreme Person, Simple Vows may be dispensed or commuted by any Superior Person. As Inferior Persons have no power nor authority to dispense or commute solemn Vows, when any such Vow is breached or any action is made to claim that dispensation or commutation is given, then such an action is a direct injury to the Divine Creator and all law. Therefore any such liability and penalty due immediately befalls the Person who breached their solemn Vow.

18.2
Oath (link)

An Oath is a solemn appeal to the Divine Creator by invocation and the presence of at least two witnesses that a pronouncement is true or a promise binding. An oath is only a valid oath when it is envoked in recognition of the rights of all men and women as Sponsors to Persons present within the court including the spirit of the living law and includes a pledge to speak honesty before the court. The touching of any object during such pronouncing is materially irrelevant to the validity of any oath.

The living law is present in a valid court of law when all words are given under oath. When officers of the court do not properly give oath, the living law is absent, even if all parties and witnesses show respect and due process of law.  A man or woman of good standing before the law is any man or woman having envoked an oath before the court, having been found to demonstrate respect for the living law and due process of law.

No one shall be denied the right to envoke an oath before a valid court. An oath extorted by malice, force, or grave fear is null by the law itself. No one should be heard within a valid court unless they have previously envoked a valid oath for that case. Furthermore, no testimony in written or oral form is valid unless a valid oath has previously been envoked.

The breaking of an oath, especially by any officer of the court, is a most serious offence which must be treated as the gravest of injury to the living law.
