Reviewed by Adv. Shailendra Babbar, Seasoned Advocate · Practicing since 31 years🗣️ Simple Explanation
An agreement is only valid if its purpose and the things exchanged are legal. This means it shouldn't break any laws, be dishonest, or harm anyone. If it does any of these things, the agreement is not valid and can't be enforced.
💡 Real Life Example
A agrees to sell drugs to B. This agreement is illegal because selling drugs is against the law. Therefore, the agreement is void.
🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
