Renunciation

Renunciation refers to the voluntary act of giving up or abandoning a right, claim, or privilege. It often happens in legal, religious, or personal contexts, where an individual formally relinquishes their rights or responsibilities. For example, someone might renounce citizenship, a property claim, or a religious position. The process typically involves a clear declaration or formal document expressing the intention to relinquish what was previously held. Renunciation is a purposeful decision that results in the person no longer enjoying certain rights or benefits associated with that claim.
