Under Indian Contract Law, agreements with minors are void ab initio (void from the beginning). However, there is an important exception: if the agreement was made for the minor's benefit, courts have allowed the minor to enforce it. This protects minors from being bound by harmful contracts while preserving their ability to access beneficial arrangements. Option A is too restrictive, Option C is incorrect because minors cannot enforce harmful agreements, and Option D wrongly suggests third-party consent determines enforceability. The law balances protection with the minor's welfare interests.
