✅ Are Verbal Contracts Legally Valid in India?
YES! Under The Indian Contract Act, 1872, a verbal agreement CAN be legally valid IF it meets these conditions:
🔹 Offer & Acceptance – One party offers, the other accepts. 🏛️
🔹 Mutual Consent – Both parties must agree voluntarily. 🤝
🔹 Consideration (Exchange of Value) – Money, services, or goods must be involved. 💰
🔹 No Legal Prohibitions – The agreement shouldn’t violate the law (e.g., gambling contracts). 🚨
