Reprobation

Reprobation describes a condition in which a person or group is regarded as disqualified, rejected, or outside accepted moral or religious bounds. In religious literature, the term is often used to express the opposite of approval or acceptance, indicating a failure to meet required standards or commitments. Reprobation can refer to judgment, loss of status, or separation from a desired relationship or outcome. The concept emphasizes evaluation and consequence rather than fate alone, and it is used to explain boundaries of belonging, responsibility, and accountability.
