I've heard about dueling in movies and books, but I'm not sure if it's a real thing that people actually do. I'm curious to know if dueling exists in reality and if it's still practiced anywhere today.

    These battles were a form of dispute resolution, where combatants fought to prove their innocence or righteousness.

    An early version of dueling was known as "judicial combat," reflecting its use in judicial settings.

    Dueling, a practice imported from abroad, shares similarities with many early American customs.

    The belief was that God would judge the righteous man and ensure his victory in the combat.
