Perjury is the act of intentionally lying or making false statements under oath, typically during legal proceedings such as trials or depositions. It is considered a serious offense as it undermines the integrity of the judicial system. Perjury can lead to criminal charges, resulting in penalties including fines and imprisonment. The term is derived from the Latin word "perjurare," meaning "to swear falsely."
