/ɔːrˈdiːl baɪ ˈprɒksi/ – Phrase
Definition: việc chịu phép thử tội thay cho bị cáo.
A more thorough explanation: “Ordeal by proxy” refers to a situation where an individual is subjected to a trial or test of their innocence or guilt through a representative or substitute, rather than undergoing the ordeal themselves. This term is often used in legal contexts to describe a scenario where someone is made to undergo a trial by proxy as a means of determining their fate or innocence.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the plaintiff alleged that the defendant had engaged in an ordeal by proxy by using a third party to intimidate and harass the plaintiff.
