Explanation

Under Indian Contract Act Section 15, coercion includes threatening to commit suicide to force someone into a contract. The Supreme Court has upheld this because suicide threats put enormous pressure on the victim to agree. This is different from undue influence (using position of power), misrepresentation (false statements), or fraud (active deception).
