Explanation using Example
Imagine a scenario where a person, who is a witness in a court case, is required to testify. This individual, due to personal beliefs, is not comfortable taking an oath on a religious text. According to Section 51 of The Indian Penal Code, 1860, the court allows the person to make a "solemn affirmation" instead, which is a legally recognized substitute for an oath. This affirmation holds the same legal value as an oath and the witness is bound to speak the truth under penalty of perjury.
