"People are more generally afraid of breaking an oath than a law." -Nicolo Machiavelli.
This was certainly true in the times when Religion ruled everything, but don't rely on it today. People are not concerned so much these days with their honour as with their freedom. Law enforcement is getting tougher and generally people will obey the law when they are compelled to.
