Which of the following statements is true?
-
Even if a proposal is not accepted properly it becomes a valid contract.
-
The agreements which are against the public policy can be enforced if the parties are willing to contract.
-
A contract can consist of an offer or an acceptance only.
-
Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense.
Section 13 of Indian Contract Act defines consent: 'Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense.' This is the legal definition of consensus ad idem - meeting of minds on the same terms. Option A is wrong because proper acceptance is required for contract. Option B is wrong because agreements against public policy are void regardless of willingness. Option C is wrong because a contract requires both offer AND acceptance, not either/or. D correctly states the law on consent.
