An agreement made by mistake is

  • A.Void
  • B.Voidable
  • C.Illegal
  • D.Immoral

Answer: A

An agreement made by mistake is void, so (A) is correct. Under Section 20 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, where both parties to an agreement are under a mistake as to a matter of fact essential to the agreement, the agreement is void. Under Section 22 a contract is not voidable because it was caused by one party's mistake as to a matter of fact. Voidable in option (B) is the position when consent is not free because of coercion, undue influence, fraud or misrepresentation. Illegal in option (C) and immoral in option (D) refer to unlawful objects and do not describe a mistake.
