Legal Information
Article number ninety two of the affirmation system defines two sorts of taking an oath, which is one of the most important means for affirmation according to the law:
First: Decisive oath:
Its definition: it is an oath which is directed by a disputed party against his opponent for settlement of the dispute. So, when he gives the oath, the claim is completed.
Its purpose: final settlement of dispute, when other means of affirmation fail.
The one who gives it: it is usually given by the defendant, while the claimant may respond to it (that means the oath is responded by the party who received it from the other party)
Legal position: it is an independent tool of affirmation, and it is considered legally upon its providence.
For example: In a case that the claimant is unable to affirm his claim, the defendant may give a decisive oath, while in a case that the defendant refuses to (give it), he shall fail the claim, or in a case that the claimant responds to the defendant and gives the oath, the dispute will be finished for the interests of the one who gives the oath.
Second: Supplementary oath:
Its definition: it is the oath which completes the evidence of the claimant in a case it is incomplete but there is a probability.
Who decides it: the judge orders the claimant to give it, not upon the opponent demand.
Can it be rejected? It cannot be rejected to the defendant.
Legal position: it is not enough to confirm the claim, but it is used to reinforce incomplete evidence.
For example: in a case that the claimant files a weak document or a document with incomplete evidence, while the judge considers that there is an evidence that supports the claim, he may ask the claim to give the supplementary oath to complete the evidence.
