Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose

Issue

Educational issue addressed in Contracts — capacity.

Principle

An agreement with a minor is void ab initio — a foundational reading of who can enter a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act.

Derived from Lekha's curated record for Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose (Privy Council, 1903). No reporter citation is asserted here — read the judgment at the official source and confirm with a qualified advocate. Beta, pending named-expert review.
