" They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral first. All men betray is his conscience "
----- JOSEPH CONRAD, Under Western Eyes. 1911
"If someone betrays you once, it's his fault. If he betrays you twice, it's your fault."

“No one understands betrayal like the one who has been betrayed.”

“There are many kinds of betrayals. There are the small ones: the unkind word, the laughter behind someone's back, the petty lies. And there are the betrayals that break hearts, destroy worlds, and turn the strong, sweet light of day into bitter dust.”

Betray means to expose (one's country, a group, or a person) to danger by treacherously giving information to an enemy ---- to not be loyal to your country or a person, often by doing something harmful such as helping their enemies ----to fail or desert especially in time of need.
In my opinion it is first of all absence of conscience - our internal judge
Betrayal? Break unilaterally and secretly a tie (affective, contractual, patriotic, legislative, ethical, etc.) for personal interest. Corruption is an example of betrayal of ethics and the laws in force. The dog is an example of absolute and unconditional fidelity.
Thanks dear colleagues. A special thank to Mr. Martin Homesfield
According to my opinion betray is lack of ethics. If someone betrays you it is understood that you are still in the learning phase of your life. If you betrays someone then it is that you have not learned ethics in your life.

Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.
---- Noah Webster
The reasons that cause a person to betray are various and varied. If one morally judges the person who betrays one can in fact make one think of one's contempt, denial in relation to the betrayed person who feels disloyalty. Inevitably judgments are felt differently between the person who betrayed and the person who has been betrayed.
Betray is a violation or breach of a presumed covenant or trust, which results from moral and psychological conflict in relationships between individuals or organizations, and usually shows betray in men more than women.
it is is a violation or breaking of a trust, contract, or confidence between an individual, group or organization that someone or others place in a person, group or organization which is a total break from what was agreed upon earlier by both parties. It is like a husband or wife committing adultery or a nation that is aligned with another nation against a common foe who then turns against that one that they were aligned with and joining with the common enemy for which they had made a compact or agreement to fight against. It is the height of treachery against someone or a group that seems in direct conflict with what was first agreed upon. Benedict Arnold is a great example of someone who betrayed his country and who once was a general for the American Continental Army but defected to the British Army and became one of the greatest traitors in American history.

Dear @Arwa, my dear friend @Hazim has had a question What is betrayal? Almost 140 answers and resources are available.
https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_betrayal
Mainz, Germany
Dear Salman,
I think the better question may be, What does "betrayal" means to you? A general answer, depends upon the expectations of loyalty, and on a prior discussion of loyalty and its limits. If we do not first know the limits of proper and appropriate loyalty, then we also do not know the boundary of criticism on grounds of betrayal.
Expectations of loyalty and devotion vary from culture to culture and often, from person to person. Exaggerated loyalty to a king, e.g., may be betrayal of a people--say, in times of revolution. Exaggerated loyalty to a person may count as self-subjugation. Exaggerated loyalty to a cause may imply betrayal of personal insight.
What expectations do you have regarding loyalty? That will tells us what you may count as betrayal. But that leads to another question: What are the proper and appropriate expectations?
The idea that betrayal is whatever one thinks it is, that it is a self-certifying feeling, implies a concept of infinite loyalty--loyalty no matter what: loyalty to the tyrannical king, loyalty to the exploitative relationship, loyalty which requires social self-subjugation
H.G. Callaway
In my opinion , to betray => selfish act , weakness and lack of integrity ...
Accountability and responsibility are not easy , so should there be a punishment ...Yes
To act against another person who has a reasonable expectation that you will protect them in such a way that the act unnecessarily harms them is, I think, the essence of betrayal.
Per Merriam-Webster (n.d.) betray is to lead astray and especially to seduce. For example, a nation can be betrayed into being violent, a Teenager can be betrayed by a man much older than he or she, and one can be delivered to an enemy by treachery which is also betrayal.
On can betray his or her own country or fail or abandon someone right in time of great need, such as betraying one’s family. Sometimes one may feel he or she is betraying her cultural values or beliefs and principles. A person can also betray the trust of others, and reveal things unintentionally. Next, philosophically speaking, one can show or indicate what is in his or her mind, and in writing columns, he can betray his thoughts. Lastly, betrayal can mean to disclose in violation of trust or confidence like betraying a secret or prove something false.

Betray is violation of the moral principles on which friendship is built
Me think this has to do what one unintentionally divulge that could create a strain on a relationship. As such one could face some sort of punishment for such betrayal.
Dear Sister,
Betrayal is the turning of one's back on a very dear person. It is a stab in the back and the most painful and unexpected sin from someone you hold very dear. Best regards

What is betray?
In my personal opinion, betrayal is the violation of trust others on the person (betrayer) or the violation of the betrayers commitment to others.
Dear Dr. Arwa Abdulrasoul Salman,
Betrayal is bad because it generates many unethical symptoms like unfaithfulness, dissoluteness, disappointment, violation, deceiving, misguiding, seducing, deserting and nervousness. Situations are differing for different relationships.
Presenting a beautiful poem written by Shannon Michelle Haynes (Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/why-play-at-being-real).
==========================================================
He blew into my life like a sweet summer breeze,
Stole my heart in an instant, made me weak in the knees...
He seemed so sincere when he'd look in my eyes
And say the things I've waited to hear my whole life.
I thought he was different... I thought he was real.
I never thought I could feel the way he made me feel.
I just don't understand why he wasted the time
When there was nothing to gain on his end or mine.
It was perfectly senseless...not one reason why.
He would just disappear without saying goodbye.
He had me floating on air, then let me crash to the ground.
It's too much to wrap my mind around.
Why play at being real? No one wins in the end.
Someone always gets hurt when the other pretends.
Why say all those things when you don't mean a word?
It's mean and it's cruel...it's completely absurd.
Now I'm left here to wonder what could've gone wrong,
Why he just stopped calling, why he strung me along?
My thoughts, they consume me, like a crop consumes rain.
Another sleepless night just might drive me insane.
I toss and I turn over and over again.
I can't help but feel like I've lost my best friend.
But a friend would be honest, wouldn't play with your heart.
A friend wouldn't lie to you right from the start.
A friend would still be there come tomorrow...
A friend would comfort, not cause you sorrow.
I wonder if....whatever his reasons may be
That surely he knew his actions would hurt me?
And I wonder if from time to time
The thought of me might cross his mind?
Does he think about my "angel" eyes
Filled with tears because he lied?
Does my memory haunt him in his sleep?
For him it's probably not that deep.
I truly wish him all the best,
Hope he's okay and finds happiness...
Finds everything he's looking for....
Good health, true love and so much more.
I miss him, and it breaks my heart,
That it had to end before it got to start.

The play Betrayal in the City by Francis Imbuga addresses contemporary issues such as corruption, dictatorship, betrayal, nepotism and impunity that are characteristic of many African independent states...
Betrayal is the other theme that is predominant in Betrayal in the City. The biggest betrayal is by the government on the citizen who had looked forward to the independence and the fruits that come with it. They had hoped that independence will free them from oppression but the government does the exact opposite. Instead of working for the betterment of the country, the leader, together with his officials, are out to satisfy their selfish interests at the expense of the citizens who continue to suffer. Those who try to fight for justice are either killed or punished severely through imprisonment...

If you betray someone who loves or trusts you, your actions hurt and disappoint them.
I guess that we have to start defining what does betrayal means. There is a lot to be considered in that response,. For example, set of values, moral frame of reference, use and customs, culture, ethnicity, race, political affiliations, religious believes and practices. What kind of culture is in charge? The large scale or small scale of culture? What betrayal may means for one may not means the same to others. There is a universality concept of what betrayal is or means, but it may be subjected to perceptions, believes and attitudes. And it could be connected or not with the set of standards established by individuals, groups, communities and also society in general.
For example, the way that relationships are understood, approved and interpreted are subjected to culture, that may be defined by ethnic groups associated with uses and practices, which may include religious practices and beliefs as well.
Betrayal is associated with how we respond in terms of expectations when it comes to loyalty, integrity, and faithfulness. In Latin American countries, everyone knows that religiously (if Christians) that adultery is not acceptable, but it is "culturally" justified if not acceptable that men holds affairs because they are" de la calle" , meaning they are out there on the street but not the women, she is expected to be "en la casa/at home), translation may not make any sense in English, but it is basically permissible if the men do it, but totally unacceptable if the women does it. Is that betrayal or not, regardless who does it or not? Of course it is betrayal, but again, it is tolerable and conditioned by the culture, geographical location and values and believes. Are there laws that condemn it, of course there are, but are omitted (i.e. US). So the direct and collateral effect is managed according to the practice, does it stop suffering , emotional distress and insecurities? No. So what about the integrity into the relationship, to each other that is part of that relationship? What about faithfulness? It comes from a vertical conception or hierarchy in which privileges are often given to the male within the society and it shows not only in the interrelationships, couple (boyfriend/girlfriend'; wife /husband; or even partnerships defined or not by gender), but in salaries, sports, etc.. If a women in Latin America, betrays a man, her sanctions will depend upon if she belongs or not to the mainstream or indigenous community. If she belongs to a Middle Eastern society, it could means a matter of life and death. Could it happen in Latin America, of course it could happened. It has happened. Yet the region, country, geographical factors, religion, uses and customs may determine the end result or the outcome.
That is why the women in Chiapas, Mexico raised their voice via their Women Law to claim her rights as a class and as an individual.
