Which of the following statements is true as to Minor's Contract under the Contract Act, 1872 ?
Answer: C
The true statement is that a minor's contract cannot be validated even after he attains majority.
In Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose (1903) the Privy Council held that an agreement with a minor is void ab initio under sections 10 and 11 of the Contract Act. Since a void agreement is a nullity, it cannot be ratified when the minor comes of age.
For the same reason it cannot be enforced after majority, the minor is not liable to pay compensation, and the minor need not repay money advanced to him under it; Mohori Bibee also refused to order the minor to refund the mortgage money.
