*Principle:* A contract entered into by a minor, who is less than 18 years
of age, is a void contract and cannot be enforced against the minor in law
except for the contract entered by the minors for his necessities.

* *

* Facts: *A, a minor enters into the contract with a book seller.
The book seller supplied the school books and stationary as required by A.
After receiving the books and stationary. A refuses to pay the book seller
on the ground that he is a minor, and as such the contract with the book
seller is not enforceable.

(a) Book seller cannot enforce the contract as 'A' is minor

(b) Book seller can enforce the contract even against the minor as
the contract was for his necessities

(c) Book seller can enforce the contract after 'A' becomes a major
(d) Even after A becomes a major, this contract cannot be
enforced by the book seller
answer = B

does the stationery fall under necessity ? i dont think so......
