Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A contract entered into by a minor who has reached the age of majority remains unenforceable unless it is ratified after attaining the age of majority. This means that the minor must explicitly agree to be bound by the terms of the contract after turning 18. Option A is incorrect because the subject matter of the contract is irrelevant to its enforceability once the minor reaches the age of majority. Option B is incorrect because repudiation refers to a party's refusal to perform their obligations under a contract, which is not relevant to the enforceability of a contract entered into by a minor. Option C is also incorrect because the fact that the subject matter was stolen before the minor turned 18 does not affect the enforceability of the contract after the minor attains the age of majority. Option D is incorrect because an affidavit has no legal effect on the enforceability of a contract.
