Aarti, an adult, agrees to be a cosmetics brand ambassador for three years at Rs.25,00,000 per month. Which of these proposed restraints are void under sections 26-28 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, without deciding whether the remaining agreement is severable?
(i) Aarti cannot marry during the contract term.
(ii) After the term ends, Aarti can never take any assignment with any other cosmetics brand in India or abroad; no sale of goodwill is involved.
(iii) For contractual disputes, the brand's interpretation is final and Aarti is absolutely barred from enforcing her contractual rights through ordinary legal proceedings or arbitration.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The adult marriage restraint falls under section 26, the perpetual post-term professional restraint under section 27, and the absolute legal-enforcement bar under section 28. Each specified restraint is void; that conclusion does not decide the validity of all remaining contractual terms.
