Answer to Question 1
Some of the contracts that are contrary to public policy are:
(1 ) Contracts limiting the freedom of marriage: It is contrary to public policy to enter into any contract the effect of which is to limit the freedom of marriage. Such contracts are void. The following provisions in contracts have been held to render the contract a nullity:
1. An agreement whereby one party promises never to marry.
2. An agreement to refrain from marrying for a definite period of time.
3. An agreement not to marry certain named individuals.
Similarly, marriage brokerage contracts are unenforceable as against public policy. A marriage brokerage contract is one in which a person agrees to pay another for negotiating, procuring, or bringing about a marriage.
(2 ) Contracts injuring the public service: Any contract that may, from its very nature, injure public service is void. A person may contract as an attorney to appear before any public authority to encourage or oppose the passage of any bill. But a contract to use improper influence such as bribery to obtain the desired results is void.
Contracts to use one's influence in obtaining a public contract that by statute must be let to the lowest responsible bidder, to obtain pardons and paroles, or to pay a public official more or less than the statutory salary are also void.
