B Correct answer
Explanation

Promises that restrain marriage are void as against public policy under Section 26 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Such agreements are not binding because they interfere with personal freedom and social institution of marriage. The agreement is 'not binding' - it's void, not illegal.
