Ted, a used car dealer, entered into a written agreement to sell a car to Debra, a sixteen year old high school junior. The agreement provided that Ted would replace any defective parts for one year. Debra agreed to pay Ted $200 per month for three years (which she has done). The age of majority for the jurisdiction is eighteen. After six months, Debra's transmission fails but Ted refuses to replace it. If Debra (or a representative on her behalf) brings a lawsuit against Ted, it is more likely than not that the court will rule

Options are "a. Ted will prevail because Debra was a minor when the contract was formed b. the contract is illegal c. the contract is void d. Debra will prevail, as Ted is bound to the contract"

The general rule is that a minor can enter into any contract an adult can, provided that the contract is not one prohibited by law for minors such as the sale of alcoholic beverages or tobacco. Debra is a minor (below age of 18) and she can honor the contract or make it Void. Since she did not make it Void the contract, Ted is bound to the contract as per the Contract Act. So, Debra can recover because Ted was bound to the agreement. Hence, the correct answer is Debra will prevail, as Ted is bound to the contract.
