Individual disqualified under legal provisions
Authors

Abstract
This paper throws light on the law regarding persons incapable of
contracting under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and analogous legislations of
other jurisdictions. It enumerates classes of persons disqualified, namely,
minors, persons incapable of mental soundness, persons intoxicated, alien
enemies, convicts, undischarged bankrupts, and foreign sovereigns. The logical
explanation behind such disqualifications has been to do with protecting
vulnerable parties and ensuring fair contractual dealings. The article also
highlights the legal requirements of a valid contract, including competence,
free consent, and lawful consideration, which are prescribed in Section 10 of
the Act.
