Trade Union Rights for Minors

The Indian Majority Act states that individuals below the age of 18 are considered minors and cannot enter into binding contracts, protecting them from exploitation.

Agreements made by minors are typically void, meaning they cannot be enforced in a court of law, allowing minors to avoid legal obligations.

Beneficial agreements, which provide advantages or necessities to minors, can be enforced if they serve the minor's interests, like contracts for educational supplies.
