When is a Verbal Agreement Legally Enforceable? ✅

Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a verbal agreement is valid IF it meets these conditions:

✔️ Offer & Acceptance – Both parties must agree to the terms. 🤝
✔️ Legal Consideration – Something valuable (money, service) must be exchanged. 💰
✔️ Free Consent – No force, fraud, or coercion involved. 🚫
✔️ Capable Parties – Both must be legally competent (not minors, unsound mind, etc.).

💡 Example: If you verbally agree to sell a laptop for ₹40,000 and the buyer takes delivery but doesn’t pay, you can file a case.
