Void agreement signifies :

A: Agreement illegal in nature
B: Agreement not enforceable by law
C: Agreement violating legal procedure
D: Agreement against public policy

The answer is: B

Explanation

The correct option is B: Agreement not enforceable by law.

According to Section 2 (g) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a void agreement is defined as "an agreement not enforceable by law". This means that a void agreement has no legal effect and cannot be enforced by any court of law. The parties to a void agreement do not have any rights or obligations under it.

For example, an agreement to commit a crime or an agreement to restrain marriage is void and cannot be enforced by law.
