It is important to know that there are different theories about the etymological origin of the term morigeration. Thus, one of them determines that it derives from Latin, specifically from the verb "morigerare", which can be translated as "try to please."
However, another of those that becomes more relevant indicates that it also comes from Latin. However, it emanates from the Latin expression "morem gerere alicui" which means "to bear the customs of another" or "to bear the humor of another."
This is what moderation or moderation is called in certain habits, actions or dispositions.
In the field of law , the idea of mitigation refers to the mitigation of a punishment . It is common that, in some legislations, this benefit is granted within the framework of preventive detention .
If there are indications that a person committed a serious crime, he or she is summoned to give an investigative statement and defend himself. When their statements fail to discredit the existing evidence, the judge can order preventive detention : the subject, in this way, is imprisoned while the investigation progresses.
Faced with this reality, the defense lawyer can request a mitigation of the sentence , for example through house arrest . In this context, the individual leaves prison to complete the detention measure in his own home. This way you enjoy more beneficial conditions.
In the same way, you can also opt for the mitigation of the sentence to be monitored electronically. What we mean by this is that the person has a bracelet placed on their wrist or ankle, which cannot be removed, so that in this way they can know where they are at all times. Thanks to this bracelet, it will be possible, for example, to know that you do not leave the city where you live or the country in which you reside or that you are not close to whoever was your victim.
In the judicial field it is also established that morigeration can be used in economic matters. Thus, for example, it is determined that judges have the power to determine the mitigation of interests that may be usurious or excessive in cases related to the delay in the payment of a certain tax obligation. They can determine this moderation when they consider that said interests are absolutely disproportionate to the events that have occurred and their causes.
Take the case of a field that is often affected by strong winds. To minimize the impact of gusts on crops, the owner of the land plants trees around the perimeter. These species make it possible to mitigate the onslaught of the wind , acting as a curtain and blocking, at least in part, the passage of air.
Chastity , on the other hand, consists of the moderation of sexual acts . He who is chaste does not maintain intimate relationships or develop actions aimed at seeking sexual pleasure. This moderation is often due to religious or moral reasons.
