If a minor contracts for necessaries, the minor's liability is quasi-contractual in nature. This means that:
 A) the minor is not required to pay the contract price.
 B) the firm does not need to pay the minor because the contract is voidable.
 C) the minor must pay the contract price to prevent the firm from being unjustly enriched.
 D) the minor's parent or spouse needs to pay the reasonable value of what was received.

Question 2

An agreement between Jim and his 18-year-old daughter, Betty, provides that he will give her 25,000 if she does not marry until after her 22nd birthday. One month after reaching the age of 22, Betty, still unmarried, claims the 25,000. Jim refuses to pay, claiming that the agreement was illegal. Is Jim correct?

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

No. Judgment will be for Betty. It is the policy of the law to encourage marriage. Thus, a contract that prohibits marriage under all circumstances or places broad or general restrictions on marriage generally would be held void as contrary to public policy. However, contracts that place reasonable restrictions on marriage generally will be held valid. In this case, the restriction that Betty not marry until she is 22 is reasonable and, therefore, is valid. Thus, Betty is entitled to the 25,000 in accordance with the terms of the binding contract between her and her father.
