Explanation

The correct option is B: Void.

An agreement to remain unmarried is void because it is against public policy and violates the right to personal liberty. Section 26 of the Indian Contract Act states that every agreement in restraint of the marriage of any person, other than a minor, is void. Therefore, such an agreement is not legally enforceable and has no effect.
