Mesorat%20hashas for Shevuot 3:11

שְׁבוּעַת שָׁוְא נוֹהֶגֶת בַּאֲנָשִׁים וּבְנָשִׁים, בִּרְחוֹקִים וּבִקְרוֹבִים, בִּכְשֵׁרִים וּבִפְסוּלִים, בִּפְנֵי בֵית דִּין וְשֶׁלֹּא בִּפְנֵי בֵית דִּין, וּמִפִּי עַצְמוֹ. וְחַיָּבִין עַל זְדוֹנָהּ מַכּוֹת וְעַל שִׁגְגָתָהּ פָּטוּר. אַחַת זוֹ, וְאַחַת זוֹ, הַמֻּשְׁבָּע מִפִּי אֲחֵרִים, חַיָּב. כֵּיצַד. אָמַר, לֹא אָכַלְתִּי הַיּוֹם וְלֹא הֵנָחְתִּי תְפִלִּין הַיּוֹם, מַשְׁבִּיעֲךָ אָנִי, וְאָמַר אָמֵן, חַיָּב:

A vain oath obtains with men and with women, with non-kin and with kin [e.g., if he swore about a man, whether non-kin or kin, that he is a woman], whether kasher (to testify) or not, both before beth-din and not before beth-din — by his own mouth. For willful transgression, one is liable to stripes; for unwitting transgression, he is not liable. With both [a vain oath and an oath of pronouncement], if he is besworn by others, he is liable [if he answers "Amen."] How so? If he said: "I did not eat today," or "I did not put on tefillin today," (and another said:) "I beswear you," and he answered "Amen," he is liable.
