Under section 10 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, as in force on 6 November 2026, outside its stated exceptions, what is the effect of a condition absolutely restraining a transferee from disposing of the transferred interest?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 10 generally invalidates a condition absolutely restraining alienation, rather than invalidating the transfer itself. The provision contains specified exceptions; section 9 concerns oral transfers and is not the restraint provision.

Option feedback

Option A

The absolute restraint condition is void under section 10 in the stated non-exception case.

Option B

The statutory consequence is voidness of the condition, not a merely voidable condition.

Option C

The statutory consequence is voidness; describing it only as illegal does not answer the question.

Option D

The condition is void in the stated case, not partly valid.
