(3) Agreements in Restraint of Marriage-
Every individual enjoys the freedom to marry and so according to section 26 of the contract act "every agreement is restraint of the marriage of any person, other than a minor, is void." The restraint may be general or partial but the agreement is void, and therefore, an agreement agreeing not to marry at all, or a certain person or, a class of persons, or for a fixed period, is void. However, an agreement restraint of the marriage of a minor is valid under the section.
It is interesting to note that a promise to marry a particular person does not imply any restraint of marriage and is, therefore, a valid contract.
This section enact that agreement in restraint of the marriage of any person, other than a minor is void. In the interest of the society, contracts for marriage are scrutinized with a close and vigilant suspicion of undue influence, fraud or imposition. The law presumes constrictive fraud, on grounds of public policy, in agreements respecting marriages since marriages of a suitable nature are of the deepest importance of the wellbeing of the society, as upon the equality and mutual affection much of their happiness, sound morality, and mutual confidence, hence every temptation of the exercise often undue influence, or a seductive interest in procuring a marriage is suppressed, for there is infinite danger that it may, under the guises of friendship, confidence, flattery or falsehood, accomplish the ruin of person especially females. So the law-
(a) prevents improvident, ill-advised, and often fraudulent matches;
(b) Avoid all such contracts as tend to the deceit and injury, or encourage artifices and improper attempts to control the exercise of free judgment;
(c) Discountenances secret contracts made with prevents and guardians, whereby on a marriage, they to receive a benefits
(d) Renders invalid certain agreements in restraint of marriage.
Illustrations
(a) A agrees with B for good consideration that she will not marry C. It is a void agreement.
(b) A agrees with B that she will marry him only; it is a valid contract of marriage
