/tə weɪʤ wʌnz lɔː/ – Pharse
Definition: thề là không có tội.
A more thorough explanation: In legal English, “to wage one’s law” refers to a historical practice where a defendant could challenge a plaintiff’s claim by swearing an oath, often backed by a certain number of compurgators (witnesses who swore to the defendant’s truthfulness). This practice was used primarily in civil cases, and the outcome often depended on the defendant’s social standing and the number of compurgators they could gather.
Example: The accused waged his law, claiming innocence and producing twelve compurgators to support his oath.
