Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Mohori Bibee v Dharmodas Ghose held the minor's mortgage agreement void and refused to order repayment of the advance in the circumstances of the case. Sections 64 and 65 of the Contract Act did not supply the lender with the claimed remedy. The court also declined to use its discretionary compensation power because the money had been advanced with knowledge of the borrower's minority; the Act discussed in 1903 was the Specific Relief Act 1877.
