A minor is considered incapable of contracting. The sole purpose of this law is to accord protection to minors because a person who has not attained a certain level of understanding and distinction between correct and incorrect can be defrauded easily. Often, minors are the sole owners of large estates or finances, and as a result, they can become the prey of those who look for illegal ways of earning money or assets. As a result, the contract by a minor cannot be enforced in a court of law.
