Statement:All contracts made with a minor are void ab initio.Conclusions1.No Contract with a minor can be enforced in a Court of Law.2.A minor cannot enter into any valid Contract.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option C — Both Conclusions 1 and 2 follow
Detailed Solution
"Void ab initio" means void from the very beginning: the agreement has no legal effect at all.
A void agreement cannot be enforced by any court, so Conclusion 1 follows.
If every contract with a minor is void, a minor cannot make any valid contract, so Conclusion 2 follows. (This is the rule in Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose, 1903.)
✓ Check
Each conclusion only restates "all contracts with a minor are void" in other words; neither adds new information.⚠ Common trap
(A) tempts students who think a minor can still validly contract for necessaries, but the statement says "all contracts", and the conclusions are judged only on it.Quick tip
Void ab initio = no legal effect from the start: unenforceable, and never valid.
